A letter by the host i.e. Amit Gulati. I Amit Gulati s/o Mr. Avinash Gulati (ex-president of hotel and restaurant Association). My father started hotel in 1989 named as hotel Rose, within a year or two our hotel name has been recommended in all major guide books like lonely planet, rough guide book, de-rottered, Italian, Korean and various other travel guide books.

Globe trotter also stated that hotel Rose is very safe for japanesse girls and if you are cheated in Agra, contact to Mr. Avinash Gulati he will help you. It is also stated in all guide books that you can see Taj Mahal from the roof top restaurant of the hotel. The hotel is also recommended and approved by central government of tourism dept. But in year 2000 due to his age factor he was unable to manage the hotel and I was too young to support him at that time so he decided to lease the hotel to State Bank of India as a guest house in year 2000.
Today I am eligible enough to restart my father’s business but in such a way that can give a homely and traditional feel to our guest. So I turned the whole concept of hotel into a homestay. Now with my wife and my parents I boast to be the best host. We assure you to provide a secured, economical, homely atmosphere and an invitation to live with an Indian family as its member, to experience the Indian custom, tradition and authentic Indian mughlai cusine closely. We aim to make your stay in India a memorable one to cherish for years together.

About Agra

Perhaps no other historical monument has evoked as much awareness and admiration from tourists and travellers alike, as the magnificent Taj Mahal – fondly called by people as the ultimate requiem of love, from a great Mughal Emperor to his beloved.

So overwhelming is the exquisite beauty and presence of this marble mausoleum that centuries later today, even the very land where it has been located – Agra – has been immortalised as the City of the Taj. Yet, it doesn’t take much for the roving eye to discover that there’s more to Agra than just the fabled Taj Mahal. The city is a virtual gateway to a world of discovery… a freeze-frame from a resplendant era that’s long since gone by. In the great epic ‘Mahabharat’ the region of Agra is described as ‘Agraban’ (an integral part of the Brij Bhumi or the land of Lord Krishna). The latter part of Indian history outlines the origins of Agra to 1475 A.D., when the reign of Raja Badal Singh.

However, Agra came into limelight during the rule of Afghan King Sikandar Lodhi – who had made it the capital of his empire.Later in 1526 A.D., the Mughal Emperor Babar took upon himself the task for rendering Agra, a unique character and beauty of its own. The visionary that he was and a great patron of the arts, Emperor Babar brought in a change in the culture and life-style among the people of Agra, which then brought forth some of the finest craftsmen, artists, statesmen, warriors and nobility, this part of India had ever withnessed. The golden age of Agra’s history, thus began to set in.

The next few hundred years of Agra witnessed the rise of the pomp and pageantry of three great Mughal monarchs – Emperor Akbar, Jehangir and ShahJahan – all of whom lavished on this fabled city, their love and riches immeasurable to transform the land into one of the great centers of art, culture, learning and commerce.

Much of the city’s impressive past lives in evidence even today, in the hunting presence inside the monuments, the majesty of the buildings, the exquisite arts and crafts and not to forget, the lure of an exceptional cuisine… all, cherished as priceless legacies of a nostalgic past. The older city of Agra has impressively retained much of its resplendent history… captivating every visitor with fond memories to take back home. Today, luxury and modern convenience also exist adjacent to tradition – luxury hotels, shopping malls and plazas, wide avenues and a superb choice of venues for recreation, business, sports, pleasure, education and the arts.

Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal : A Glorious World Heritage Site

Taj Mahal. Sheer poetry in marble. Majesty and magnificence, unrivalled. The Taj Mahal, the one and only one of its kind across the world. The monumental labour of love of a great ruler for his beloved queen. The ultimate realisation of Emperor Shahjahan’s dream. One of the wonders of the world. From 1631 A.D., it took 22 years in the making. An estimated 20,000 people worked to complete the enchanting mausoleum, on the banks of the Yamuna. For a breathtaking beautiful view of the Taj Mahal, see it by moonlight.
