Kachhpura Village Walk

Walk through the village of Kachhpura in Agra and see the paintings done by community girls and see the Humayaun Mosque as well. The village is in Mehtab Bagh area and also offers a great view of Taj Mahal

A narrow bridle path through agriculture fields near Mehtab Bagh takes you into the ancient village of Kachpura and Humayun’s Mosque. The walk through Kachpura starts with explaining the paintings (sanji art) on the walls done by community girls under the youth program.

Humayun’s Mosque is another monument that is situated inside the village. This is a strange peculiar kind of mosque ever built by Mughals. It has one deep narrow, great central ricer or compartment entered by a high arch and domed in the center with one recess in its weak wall. At each side of this central compartment the building is lower and broken up into the smaller chambers. After regular meetings with government authorities, they have now been renovated as well.

The central courtyard of the village is a major attraction of Kuchhpura. The courtyard was redesigned under the project that offers a view of activities taking place in and around the information center: street theater and henna tatto making. One can also visit the village school situated near the courtyard. Walk ends in Mehtab Bagh from where you will have the opportunity to watch the Taj Mahal during sunset.
