Agra : Tourists coming to see the Taj Mahal will be able to enjoy light and sound show in Agra Fort from July 31, 2024.

The move is aimed at increasing the night stay of tourists in the city and give its tourism industry a fresh push. The light and sound show in Agra Fort will depict the Mughal emperor, Agra culture and Shivaji's arrival in Agra.

Regional Tourism Officer Deepti Vats said, preparations for the light and sound show are in the final stages and will be completed soon. As soon as they receive permission from ASI, trials of light and sound will begin.

Around 95 per cent of its work has been completed by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Archeology Department. Along with software installation, the creative film to be played in the show has also been finalised. The show will take place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.

There will be two shows daily. With this, tourists coming to the Taj city will get a chance to know the culture of Agra, added Deepti Vats.
