Diwali - firework and the Taj

Hi all,

I will be in Agra on the 28th.of October. What would be a nice place to watch Diwali activities?
And...will there be firework around the Taj or would that be asking to much?

Thanks a million.

i would be inclined to believe that it might be possible....with all the rockets which are used during diwali, it might be possible to get a shot with a rocket bursting in the background?

@Sinjoor, for some reason the Government has not kept a budget for pyrotechnics at the Taj though all around there may be private fireworks happening.

But Sinjoor it is for you to guess what could be the reason.

You could ask for clues to define the reason though!

Cheers.

So what you are saying is that the government has its reasons,that the reason does not know off

The Government knows it's reasons; but the crux is for you to realise.
