About Jahanara & Roshanara Combined
The Space & Its Character
Jahanara & Roshanara Combined is an event venue at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra — one of India's most celebrated luxury resorts, positioned just 600 metres from the Taj Mahal. The space is formed by joining two named halls — Jahanara and Roshanara — both drawing their identity from the Mughal heritage that defines Amarvilas as a property. The resort itself is conceived as a tribute to Mughal architecture, with intricate inlay work, fountains, reflection pools, and arched colonnades running throughout. The combined hall carries this sensibility indoors: the interiors reflect the refined aesthetic of the broader resort, creating an atmosphere that feels both grand and culturally anchored for guests who are already immersed in the setting of Agra.
The combined configuration offers a significantly larger footprint than either hall used independently, making it well suited to events that require a single, uninterrupted floor plate. Whether the occasion calls for a formal banquet arrangement, a conference-style layout, or a reception with open flow, the space can be dressed and configured to match. The Oberoi's event team works with organisers to plan setup, lighting, floral décor, and audiovisual requirements, ensuring the venue can transition between ceremony, dining, and social formats within the same occasion.
Events & Occasions
The Jahanara & Roshanara Combined venue serves a range of high-end events, with weddings being among the most sought-after occasions at Amarvilas. Couples who choose this space are typically drawn by the incomparable backdrop — staging a wedding in sight of the Taj Mahal is a proposition few venues in the world can match. The Oberoi Amarvilas hosts Indian and destination weddings with multi-day programming, and the combined hall accommodates formal dinners, sangeet evenings, and reception gatherings.
Corporate events and executive retreats also find a natural home here. The Oberoi's established business event infrastructure — including professional AV support, dedicated event coordinators, and the resort's premium hospitality standards — makes the space equally appropriate for leadership conferences, product launches, and incentive programmes. Social celebrations such as milestone anniversaries and private galas round out the event mix. For any occasion, the venue's position within a five-star luxury resort means guests experience the full complement of Amarvilas amenities: fine dining, spa facilities, and accommodations among the best in Agra.
Location & Accessibility
The Oberoi Amarvilas sits in the Tajganj district of Agra, placing the resort — and by extension, the Jahanara & Roshanara Combined venue — within the closest luxury hospitality footprint to the Taj Mahal. Agra is connected to Delhi by road via the Yamuna Expressway, a journey of approximately 200 kilometres, and is served by Agra Cantonment railway station, which links the city to major Indian rail routes. Agra's Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Airport provides air access, with regular connections to Delhi and other cities. For guests travelling from Delhi, helicopter transfers and luxury car hire are options frequently arranged for high-value events at properties of this calibre. The resort's concierge and events team can assist with guest logistics planning as part of the overall event package.
