About My Taj Memory

An independent, practical guide to visiting the Taj Mahal and Agra, with a small tool for keeping the memory of the day.

My Taj Memory is a visitor guide to the Taj Mahal and the rest of Agra, written by the My Taj Memory Team. It has two parts. The guides answer the planning questions people actually have: what the tickets cost, when to go, how night viewing works, how to get there from Delhi, what you can carry in, how to photograph it and what else is worth seeing. The home page has a planner that turns those answers into a checklist for your dates, and a memory card maker for afterward.

Independent

Independent guide, not affiliated with the Archaeological Survey of India or any tour operator. We don't sell tickets, tours, hotel rooms or train seats, we don't take commissions, and there are no affiliate links on the site. When we name a train, a gate or a garden, it is because it is useful to know.

How we check facts

Fees, opening rules, night-viewing arrangements and the list of banned items come from the official Taj Mahal site run for the Archaeological Survey of India, and from the Agra district administration. Train times come from public timetable listings. These facts were last checked in November 2026, and each guide says so at the top.

Some things could not be confirmed from an official source, or official pages disagree with each other. Where that happens, the guide says what we found and lists the gap in a box called "What we could not confirm". The fee you pay on the official portal on the day is always the one that counts.

If you spot something that has changed, please tell us. We update pages when rules or prices change.

The memory card

The memory card on the home page is drawn in your browser. Your note, date and name are not sent anywhere. If you press Save, the note is stored in your own browser's local storage, and you can delete it from the same list. The line drawing of the domed monument on the card is our own illustration, made for this site. It is not a photograph and not anyone's logo.
