Agra
Shop for Agra's world-famous marble inlay crafts (pietra dura) — jewellery boxes, tabletops, vases, and decorative plates inlaid with semi-precious stones by descendants of Taj Mahal craftsmen. The leather goods (Agra shoes), carpet weaving, and Zardozi embroidery are equally celebrated.
Visit the Marble Inlay workshops near Shilpgram to watch artisans at work before purchasing — ensures authenticity. Avoid shops near the Taj's east gate who over-inflate prices for tourists.
