Agra is a historic city, which is mentioned in the early Indian epic the Mahabharata. It was originally known as Agrabana and was a part of the region known as Brij Bhumi where Lord Krishna, the playful Hindu God, lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan. In 1475 A.D, the city of Agra became the center of the region ruled by Raja Badal Shah. The Lodi ruler, Sikander Lodi established his new capital called Sikandra near Agra in 1492 A.D.

Agra is a great place to shop, while on tours to India. Since it was previously the Mughal capital, where the grand Mughal courtiers lived, different communities of craftsmen came to Agra India, and offered their wares to the Mughal court. Patronized by royalty, these hereditary craftsmen developed their art to the height of perfection. You can shop for fine marble handicrafts, decorated with exquisite marble inlay work, leather items, brassware, rugs and carpets and other handicraft items when you travel to Agra with Agra Hub.
