A city of fascinating attractions The magnificent Taj Mahal is undoubtedly the prime reason for visiting Agra. The city, however, has much more to offer its tourists. The other heritage structures and culture add to the overall experience

A

gra surely offers an ultimate experience for everyone who visits this beautiful city. Apart from the Seventh Wonder of the world, the Taj Mahal, the city also boasts of many other structures that make your visit all the more enriching.

Fatehpur Sikri It is yet another masterpiece built

by Mughal emperor Akbar. The fort is known for its intricate designs and decorations. A perfect blend of Muslim and Hindu architecture, some of the attractions of Fatehpur Sikri include Buland Darwaza and Diwan-I-Khas.

Old City charm Want to experience the heart of Agra? In the Old City behind Jama Masjid (mosque), you'll find a tangle of narrow lanes housing a variety of spices, clothes, saris, jewellery, shoes and snack stalls. It's a place where traditional arts and crafts, such as marble work, come alive. However, this crowded area, known as Kinari Bazaar, can be quite overwhelming if you don't know your way around.

The Mughal Heritage Walk will cost

`1,250 for adults and `750 for kids under 12

Fatehpur Sikri (left) & Agra Fort are a blend of Muslim and Hindu architecture

Mughal Heritage Walk/ Kachhpura Village The Mughal Heritage Walk is a community-based tourism initiative of CURE (Center for Urban and Regional Excellence) and the Uttar Pradesh government to help villagers make an income from tourism. A km-long walk takes place on the riverside opposite the Taj Mahal and goes through Kachhpura village. You'll get to visit a number of lesser-known monuments of the Mughal Era, interact with the village communities and enjoy a fabulous view of the Taj Mahal as well. Apart from these prominent attractions of Agra, the city also offers an array of shopping options. The most-reputed shopping stores are located near the Taj Mahal. The fashionable shopping outlets and boutiques can be seen in Sadar Bazaar, having some of the best clothes, perfumes, handbags and shoes. Munro Road and Kinari Bazaar are also some of the known markets of the city.

Jaypee Manor, Mussoorie, gives you the kind of wedding the fairy tales are made of

T

he proposal may have come as a surprise, but what shouldn’t at this point is just how much that resulting wedding is going to cost you. Because whether you’ve said “I do” once before, stood at

the altar as a member of a wedding party or simply attended a destination wedding, you know just how pricey they can be. But this doesn’t mean you have to quash your dreams of getting married overlooking the ocean or on a hillside retreat.

Why a destination wedding?

It Fits The Budget Destination weddings can be far less expensive for couples than a traditional wedding at home.

Quality Time You get a chance to spend some quality time with family and friends in a more intimate setting.

Around the world, destination weddings are continuing to make their mark, with new offerings and unique ideas consistently emerging in order to satisfy a growing and ever more diverse market. This ‘eloping with a crowd’ kind of wedding appeals to those that want to run away and get married, but at the same time, want to share the experience with friends and family.

The Jaypee Residency Manor at Mussoorie is a place where your romance with nature begins and culminates into an alliance made in heaven. Exhilarating fresh air, a splendid view and greenery all around you, Residency Manor, the finest of all the five-star properties in the hill-station, is a tribute to the majesty and splendour of the Mussoorie hills. Built on an

individual hilltop and spread over nine acres of lush green paradise, it offers an amazing 180 degrees of the most awe-inspiring view of Mussoorie, the queen of hills.

The outdoor option includes ‘The Terrace Gardens’ that can accommodate up to 500 people and the spacious Banquet Hall; an indoor venue has a capacity of 400 people for all functions and banquets. An elongated driveway provides a beautiful entry for the baraat and the adjoining receiving area is designed to welcome your guests in style.

Strategically located at a height of approximately 7000 feet, a wedding at Jaypee Residency Manor offers spectacular views, unbridled luxury and an uninterrupted encounter with nature combined with exceptional service. There is no denying the fact that a wedding here is a fine concoction of deluxe accommodation, recreation and cuisine.

It’s A Vacation Too Not only do your family and friends get to witness and celebrate your vows, after the ceremony, everyone gets to relax and enjoy a vacation too!

No Family Feuds A destination wedding provides an equal playing field between families and more importantly, no uncomfortable decisions for couples to make that may cause a sticky situation between families.

And The Honeymoon Begins The honeymoon begins immediately after the ceremony.

No early morning planes to catch, no time wasted travelling and the big one – no additional costs!

Rejuvenate your senses If you are looking to calm those nerves, de-stress before your wedding, then head to the Six Senses Spa at the Jaypee Greens Golf and Spa resort, Greater Noida source Internet

The hypn otic melo dy of contin uous stre a m of water

O

nce upon a time a marriage was always about the bride. On the wedding day, her ‘better half’ often gladly went unnoticed as fawning friends and relatives beamed on her beauty. Alas, though no less nervous than the dainty damsel, the dapper groom’s goal was to just make it through the ceremony without any colossal faux pas and bear the ribbing of his dubiously named best men graciously. Today, things have changed.

There certainly isn’t any question of stealing the precious bride’s thunder, but paying attention to his appearance is the bridegroom’s way of re-affirming his commitment to honouring the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with.

Men, who get a manicure or pedicure, are no longer dandy. In fact, more and more grooms are keen to match their partner’s destress regimen.

It isn’t just great pre-wedding treatments you can indulge in at the sublime Six Senses spa but the golfers teeing off on the 18-hole course at the resort can also stop by for special yoga, massage and energising

roads less traversed In India, the doors to this unfamiliar terrain have been thrown open by the long-awaited arrival of the world renowned Six Senses Spa, nestled in the seclusion of Greater Noida’s Jaypee Greens Golf and Spa Resort. The spa director Tracey Poole introduced us to the world of wellness and rejuvenation over a thimble of strong ginger tea.

Three hours of healing sounds, a 107-point marma massage, and chakra healing to cure the sleepless nights before the impending nuptials hit just the right spot. Another unique treatment that would appeal to the athletic nature of males is the brand-new watsu therapy. A gentle stretching and massaging treatment combining elements of shiatsu and yoga in water warmed to 55° sheds worry and heightens the senses.

The royal delicacy of

Paatra

We take you on a culinary journey from Amritsar to Lahore at Paatra, the fine-dining restaurant at Jaypee Palace Hotel, Agra

Mughlai food takes one back to an era when preparing food was a treasured art and each meal was meant for a king or a queen

A

ptly named Paatra, different utensils (called paatras in Hindi) determine the various cooking methods at the restaurant. These paatras conserve the unique flavour of food in different types of cooking.

An elegant restaurant that promises to deliver an unforgettable food experience, Paatra is a finedining restaurant specialising in Punjabi, Mughlai, North Indian and Rajasthani cuisine. It is one of the best restaurants by the Jaypee group and finds presence in other Jaypee group hotels too.

QA

Tête-à-tête Chef Anurag Shah

Paatra at Jaypee Palace Hotel, Agra, can easily host large groups. It accommodates

65 persons and is open from 7:30pm to 11pm

Agra is synonymous with Mughlai and Frontier cuisines, a legacy of the Muslim dynasties that once ruled here. This cuisine is quite spicy, with a unique aroma and often milk or cream-based. Delicacies include biryanis, pasandas, kormas, pulao, kebabs, tikkas and hot and spicy shorba (soup).

Mughlai cuisine – derived from the rich, aromatic and delectable food prepared in the royal kitchens of rulers during the Mughal period takes one back to another era when preparing food was a treasured art and each meal was meant for royalty. A judicious addition of spices, gentle cooking and various nuts helps in creating the mostdelicious kebabs, curries and biryanis in Mughlai Cuisine.

Paatra serves impressive and authentic Indian cuisine.

jaypeehotels.com

The flavours used here and the experience of dining at Paatra is truly wonderful. The restaurant can accommodate 65 persons and easily play host to large group too. It is open from 7:30pm to 11pm on all days, making it the perfect place for dining like royals.

While everything on the menu is lip-smacking, some dishes just can’t be missed. You must savour their Zafrani Jhinga, Amritsari Kulcha, Murg Mussalam and Chapali Kebab. The dals also score handsomely. Tempered with cumin and chilli, they can even win the favour over meat. Then there comes the Phirni, in a sakora with a nice warq topping.

Live ghazals in the evening add to the dining experience at Paatra, making a pure indulgence of richness, burst of flavours and lavish treatment.

Why do you think Indian food has become such a universallypopular cuisine?

There is such unity in the diversity of Indian food that it has won the hearts of all. Flavours, textures, presentation, variety, taste – all are vibrant and unmatched. I would say Ayurveda plays a role in this – an Indian meal has the power to satisfy all six senses of taste and the palate is the same the world over. So when some foreigner enjoys Indian food it is due to the fact that all senses of taste have been satisfied. He might just not be aware of this power in Indian food but it is there.

Some people feel Indian cuisine is misunderstood...

Actually, Indians themselves remain confused about Indian food! We have so many regional cuisines and somebody from the North of the country will find only rice and dal-oriented dishes down South. Well, the North Indians survive on wheat. Similarly, people of East love fish but the central regions have no access to so much fish. The world has been thinking that Punjabi and Mughlai food is Indian food that is why the popularity of the tandoori chicken and the chicken tikka masala is unmatched.

But today, thanks to the information glut, Indian food is being written and read about in most parts of the world and cooks are venturing out in search of Indian recipe books, ingredients and specialty cookware.

What are the key factors in making Indian food ‘authentic’?

The description of ‘authentic’ is subjective. For me, arriving at the mostacceptable taste for the masses is authentic. Then that is documented and becomes an authentic recipe.

Jaypee Green is the only Greg Norman-designed golf course in India. The former world No. 1 talks to Celebrations about the course, the game and more...

Having won over 85 international titles and spent 331 weeks as world No. 1, what remains your favourite moment?

Probably shooting 30 on the front nine during The Open Championship.

Everybody said the front nine was the hardest nine at Augusta and the back nine was the moving nine. I can’t remember what year it was, but I remember at one point going down 7 and 8, I thought about the fact that I could shoot 29 on the front nine.

F

rom championship tee, the Jaypee Greens course is one of the longest in the world with a length of 7,347 yards. Its Australian designer, Norman, calls it one of his favourites.

jaypeehotels.com

And your worst?

Probably hitting the four-iron to the 18th in 1986 instead of a five-iron (Norman missed the green and failed to get up and down, which would have forced a playoff with Jack Nicklaus). The other bad loss was in ’96 (to Nick Faldo), when I had the six-shot lead.

2011 No. 9 Best Golf Courses in India

by Asian Golf Monthly

Best Tourism Friendly Golf Course by Ministry of Tourism, Government of India

Do you follow Indian golf and golfers?

I am familiar with Jeev Milkha Singh who has had some success outside of India. As far as the future of golf in India is concerned, I think the game of golf and junior golfers are only going to continue to improve in this country as the game continues to grow. Golf courses such as the one we built at Jaypee will continue to expose more juniors to the game of golf and this will help create the next generation of golfers for India.

How do you find the Indian golfers in terms of fitness and skill?

How can they improve in these two areas and match up to their international counterparts?

Indian golfers will continue to evolve as the game grows at the junior level.

Increasing exposure to the game and a higher level of instruction and fitness will all play a part in creating the next generation of golfers from India. It’s only a matter of time before an Indian golfer steps onto the scene and wins a Major. I’m confident we will see this happen in my lifetime.

You visited India a lot of times while designing the Jaypee golf course. How was your experience?

I had been planning to see this beautiful country for so many years.

I got a chance to see some part of it while designing my first golf course in the country. I hope to come here more often and design several more golf courses in the country.

Based upon the number of leads that we are getting, it’s obvious golf is growing in this country and I am excited about the future trips to this country which surpasses anyone in the world when it comes to welcoming people and making them feel at home.

What sets this course apart from the rest?

The course is an 18-hole championship layout, designed with the firm belief of setting new standards for championship golf in India. Built on what was previously a flat featureless site, the design of the course involved the creation of several lakes. The earth from these lakes has been used to generate a dynamic, soft and undulating landform suitable for the laying out of 18 very exciting and challenging holes. Its gently rolling fairways are grassed using an imported Bermuda grass called Evergreen.

The bunkering style at Jaypee Green sets it apart from other courses in India. The bunkers are reminiscent of classic Melbourne sand belt courses including the world famous Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath layouts.
