Agra is famous for Taj. But Taj alone is not that matters to Agra. Agra consists of very good entrepreneurs. There are various products- leather footwear, handicrafts, Petha sweets for which Agra is known. What is significant that most products are not manufactured with local raw materials. The Agra residents gather raw materials from far off places for manufacture of products.

Most people have this vision that Agra is nothing but an old city where there is Tajmahal and nothing else....In fact, a few years ago I heard someone from Bangalore planning to visit Agra, talking about the trip and saying that they had to take food and water since nothing was available there - I am not sure if that was the situation then or just their imagination ! :dry:
Agra ka Petha is really famous. My Grand-mother is from Agra, my father was born there. So, whenever my grand-mother go there, she always brings Petha for me. I haven't tasted all the varieties, but every time i taste, it feels good.
Is it made from Ash pumpkins or Lauki? They tend to taste the same , just that ash pumpkin is a little more sour when it is fully grown...I too love Petha :)

My favorite is the juicy Angoori petha flavored with rose water! Slurrrrpppp... :) and yes its made of only ash pumpkin and not lauki. My mum once tried to make petha at home and it turned out pretty okay!

That sounds good ! I think we get Angoori petha in Bangalore in a few sweet shops....I think even the bengalis love Petha a lot ...home made ones must be quite tasty ! :)

A friend who lives in Agra and an active member of Dayalbagh ashram sent recently a pack of Petha sweets. The sweetness still lingers in my mouth

Petha no doubt is famous sweet of Agra. We never forget to buy it whenever we go to Agra/Vrindavan. :)
