Clothing
There's no strict formal dress code, but modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is the respectful and comfortable default, especially since you'll be walking and standing for over an hour. Loose, breathable fabric handles Agra's climate better than anything tight or heavy.
Footwear
Shoes come off before stepping onto the mausoleum's marble platform, so slip-on shoes or sandals save time and hassle compared to lace-up shoes. The marble can get hot in direct sun during warmer months — socks are worth carrying if you're visiting outside the cooler winter season.
What to Bring
- A light layer for sunrise visits, which can be cool even outside winter
- Sun protection — hat and sunscreen — for later morning or afternoon visits
- A reusable water bottle, since Agra can get warm quickly after sunrise
- Your camera or phone charged, and a spare battery if you're a serious photographer
