Jahanara & Roshanara are two elegantly appointed banquet halls at The Oberoi Amarvilas in Tajganj, Agra — a luxury hotel celebrated for offering some of the closest unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal of any property in the city. Named after the daughters of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan — Jahanara Begum and Roshanara Begum — the halls carry a sense of Mughal heritage and courtly refinement that makes them a distinctive setting for formal gatherings and celebrations. The interiors reflect the Oberoi Amarvilas's signature design language: warm tones, intricate detailing, and an ambience that balances imperial grandeur with contemporary comfort.
Both halls are pillarless, ensuring unobstructed sightlines throughout — a practical advantage for presentations, performances, and ceremonial proceedings alike. The spaces can be set up in a variety of configurations to suit different event formats, and the hotel's events team works with planners to coordinate room layout, lighting, audio-visual requirements, and décor. High-quality in-house catering draws on The Oberoi Group's established culinary standards, with menus that can be tailored to the occasion.
Jahanara & Roshanara are suited to a wide spectrum of events, from intimate corporate meetings and product launches to wedding ceremonies and receptions, social celebrations, and private dinners. The Mughal-inspired atmosphere of the property lends a particular magic to weddings, where the evocative name of the halls and their cultural resonance add layers of meaning to the occasion. Corporate clients benefit from the hotel's professional event management support, reliable audio-visual infrastructure, and the prestige associated with hosting at one of Agra's most acclaimed luxury addresses.
The Oberoi Amarvilas itself is frequently cited among the finest hotels in India, and events held in its banquet spaces carry the weight of that reputation. For destination events — whether a wedding party travelling from across India or an international corporate retreat — the property's full-service luxury offering, including its renowned guest rooms and fine-dining restaurants, supports a seamless multi-day event experience.
The Oberoi Amarvilas sits on Taj East Gate Road in Tajganj, placing it within walking distance of the Taj Mahal's eastern entrance. For guests arriving from further afield, Agra Cantonment Railway Station connects the city to Delhi and other major rail hubs, and Agra is approximately 200 kilometres from New Delhi by road, making it accessible for day-trip events as well as multi-night stays. Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Airport (Agra Airport) provides an additional access point for domestic flights.
Choosing Jahanara & Roshanara means hosting against a backdrop that is genuinely singular: no other banquet setting in Agra combines the Taj Mahal on the horizon, Mughal-era nomenclature, and the full-service luxury of an Oberoi property in quite the same way. For event planners seeking a venue where the location itself becomes part of the event's story, this is a compelling case.
