The Agra Fort light and sound show in 2026
The light and sound show at Agra Fort is called Rang-e-Agra: Yugon Ka Safar. It started in April 2025 and uses projection technology on the fort. One performance lasts 45 minutes.
The programme has two slots every day, one in Hindi and one in English, with separate prices for Indian and international visitors. About 300 seats are available per performance. The fort itself is open from sunrise to sunset, so the show is an evening addition to a daytime visit. If you have not bought your fort entry yet, see the Agra Fort tickets page.
Check the current timetable before you plan an evening around the show, in particular if you need the English slot.
Show times: Hindi and English
Programme times.
| Language | Time | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Hindi | 18:30–19:15, daily | 45 minutes |
| English | 19:30–20:15, daily | 45 minutes |
The two slots follow each other with a 15-minute gap. If you only want one show, the language decides the time: the earlier slot is Hindi and the later slot is English. Whether a performance runs on a particular evening can change, for example with the season or maintenance, so look up the current status on the day.
Agra Fort and Taj Mahal tours
Guided fort visits, sunrise tours and day trips from Delhi, with live prices and availability. Check whether the entry ticket is included before you book.
Light and sound show ticket prices
Per person, in INR, for the current programme.
| Ticket | Indian visitors | International visitors |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | INR 300 | INR 800 |
| Ages 8 to 17 | INR 150 | INR 400 |
A family example: two international adults and one 10-year-old come to INR 2,000 (800 + 800 + 400). Two Indian adults and one 10-year-old come to INR 750. These are the show prices only. They are separate from the fort entry fare.
The show has its own prices, so plan on buying a show ticket in addition to a daytime fort ticket. For a child outside these age bands, ask when you buy.
Seats, booking and what to expect
The show has about 300 seats per performance. Tickets are sold online and at the fort, in order of availability. Seats are limited, so booking ahead is the safer choice when you have a fixed travel date.
- Projection show: the performance uses projection technology and lasts 45 minutes, so allow about an hour including the walk to your seat.
- Choose by language: a Hindi performance comes first at 18:30. The English performance starts at 19:30.
- Tickets are per person: prices are not group prices, so multiply by the number of people in your party.
- Check the status: confirm the current timetable and your ticket category before you travel to the fort in the evening.
How to plan the evening
Four points that keep the day simple.
See the fort by day first
Daytime visiting runs from sunrise to sunset, so the walk through the Diwan-i-Am, the palaces and the Musamman Burj belongs to the day. Read what is inside before you go.
Inside Agra Fort →Friday evenings work
The programme runs daily. On a Friday the Taj Mahal is closed to tourists, while the fort and the evening show stay on the programme.
Taj Mahal hours →Check the weather
Evenings in the cooler months and in the summer heat feel very different. Look at the monthly averages before you pick a date.
Weather in Agra →Think about the way back
The show ends around 19:15 or 20:15. If you stay in Taj Ganj or on Fatehabad Road, plan your transport back ahead of time.
Where to stay →Another fort, another evening show
Agra is one corner of the Golden Triangle. If your route continues to Jaipur, you can read about the evening programme there too: see the light and sound show at Amber Fort. The two programmes are separate, with their own times and tickets.
