Culture & History At The Oberoi Amarvilas

Discover rich historical and cultural delights of the incredible city of Agra from The Oberoi Amarvilas. Within walking distance from the hotel is the inconceivable Taj Mahal, or as Rudyard Kipling described it as 'the embodiment of all things pure'. Illustrated as the most extravagant monument ever built for love, it was constructed by Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, whose death in childbirth in 1631 left the Emperor so heartbroken, his hair is said to have turned grey overnight. The legacy of the Mughal Empire is ripe throughout the city, which has left the magnificent Agra Fort, and a hand full of remarkable tombs and mausoleums.

Taj Mahal

An absolute must-see, the Taj Mahal is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Built by the Emperor Shah Jahan after the heartbreak of losing his beloved wife, he created the building specifically to house her tomb. Made from thousands of semi-precious stones and exquisite white marble, it truly is a sight to behold. Named a World Heritage Site in 1983, it still appears as impeccable today as when it was first built, over 350 years ago - prepare to marvel at the spectacular marble dome and forty-metre-high white minarets. Meanwhile, the mausoleum is the centrepiece of the entire complex, complete with glorious ornamental gardens, fountains and a reflecting pool, in which the Taj is beautifully mirrored.

Taj Mahal
Agra Fort

The magnificent Agra Fort is one of the finest Mughal forts in India, boasting a structure made from beautiful red-sandstone and marble. Construction of the fort began in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, with further additions made by his grandson, Shah Jahan, using marble to turn the fort into a palace, which later became his prison for 8 years. Inside its vast walls contains a maze of buildings, forming almost a city within a city. The fort was also used by the British as a garrison and, even today, much of the fort is reserved for Indian military use only.

Dashashwamedh Ghat

A series of steps leading down to the Ganges River, Dashashwamedh Ghat is widely considered the most spectacular ghat in Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India. Lively and full of colour, you can enjoy the bustling atmosphere while watching the world go by. During the evening, watch groups of priests performing a vibrant worship ceremony with songs, fire and dance.

Dashashwamedh Ghat
Kashi Vishwanath Temple

Among the vast number of temples in Varanasi, this is the most famous of them all. A central part of Hindu worship, the temple stands on the western bank of the holy Ganges River. It features stunning gold plating on the dome, tower and spire, whilst, to the north, you will find the Jnana Vapi Wisdom Well – the water of which is considered to be ‘liquid knowledge’.

Outdoor Activities

The scenic, mountainous surroundings of Rishikesh provide many opportunities for lovers of the outdoors. River-rafting is a particular highlight and Rishikesh is actually known as the ‘River Rafting Capital of India’! Suitable for all levels of ability and thrill-seeking, you can hurtle through the exhilarating white-water rapids of the Ganga Gorge, or venture down calmer waters as you discover beautiful limestone caves. The water can also be enjoyed with kayaking and canoeing adventures. For an outdoor experience out of the water, leisurely forest walks and mountain-biking are perfect activities. Savour the lush environments of the jungle and forest, as you trek past stunning, secluded waterfalls - the Garud Chatti waterfall is particularly lovely.
