Taj Balloon Festival

Agra Smart City has a visitor page describing a three-day balloon event and mentioning February. It does not identify a current edition year, dated programme or official booking arrangements. We have therefore not used that description to announce a forthcoming festival.

The calendar retains the existing suspended classification while the next edition remains unresolved. It does not prove that the event has been permanently discontinued. Before planning a visit around ballooning, seek a dated notice from the organiser or tourism authority with the venue and flight arrangements.

The photograph shows the Taj Mahal as destination context. It is not evidence of a festival launch or permission to fly over the monument. A sightseeing photograph, a balloon ride and admission to a festival describe different things and should be booked through the appropriate current provider.
