Subhash Emporium

Beautiful shop with lovely staff! This place feels nothing less than an art museum — showcasing exquisite artwork that spans over 60 years, carrying a legacy of centuries. The staff take time to display the beautiful art pieces before you decide to buy. They even gifted me an additional souvenir a black marble tortoise (a symbol of good luck) despite the fact that I didn’t purchase anything very expensive. A must-visit if you’re in Agra! Please note: Photography is not allowed, as this kind of intricate artwork can be easily copied and sold at cheaper rates using inferior materials.

The place is run through 3 generations and they show case a work shop which is mostly for tourists, they have vast variety of materials but everything is expensive (mostly for tourist souvenirs) They explain that its very special because it's Indian marble from Makrana but as an Indian i understand that every other marble is in quality very similar to it. So my suggestion (based on my experience) will be to go there to experience the art of making inlay work of marble (Pietra dura) but also keep in mine that you can get same material in less then half price at other stores.

“Only a jeweler can truly value a diamond.” And in the same way, only someone who understands craftsmanship can truly appreciate work like this. This shop is probably not for everyone—and that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s for people who genuinely appreciate Indian handicraft, patience, and precision. I visited with my husband, and honestly, I wanted to buy everything. The difference between their work and what you see in most places in Agra is immediately visible. Yes, marble inlay work is available everywhere at cheaper prices—but the quality gap is impossible to ignore once you’ve seen real craftsmanship. What stood out to me most was the inlay work. In many cheaper pieces, you’ll notice a white outline around the design where the inlay meets the marble—and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Here, the inlay is so clean, so precisely embedded, that it feels as though it was always part of the marble itself. Seamless, delicate, and incredibly refined. I bought a beautiful set of coasters, and every piece felt thoughtful and intentional. The designs are intricate without being loud, elegant without being fragile. The marble quality itself is excellent, but for me, the real delight was understanding how the inlay is done and seeing that level of skill reflected in every item. What made the experience even better was the way everything was explained—patiently, with pride, and with genuine respect for the art. The customer service was warm and knowledgeable, never rushed, never pushy. This kind of Indian craftsmanship is slowly disappearing, and seeing it preserved and practiced at this level is truly special. A must-visit—for those who value artistry, heritage, and exquisite taste. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but if it is yours, you’ll understand exactly why this place is exceptional.

We followed a recommendation in our travel guide and it was a good decision. The seller was not pushy at all and showed different options with different level of detail in work (and, of course, different prices). Shopping there was a great option and we left the shop with the feeling we have bought something really authentic for a reasonable price.

It was an amazing experience to see true artisans at work. The pieces are exceptionally beautiful, especially the museum-quality works. We ended up buying a necklace and jewelry box , and it was far superior to anything we saw in the general markets or stores.

it is an amazing experience to come and see true artisans at work. The pieces are extremely beautiful particularly if you get to look at some of the Museum pieces. we did buy a piece and it was so much better than what we saw in the general markets and stores.

Digambar Singh ji has good knowledge & good convenience power, he tries his level best to share more & more information but due to our time constraint we will visit your main showroom to explore more!!

Came to the best place to get Agra marble work. It is expensive but you will get the best from here. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. If you want a marble product there are different price ranges and if the best quality of Indian craftsmanship is what you are looking for it's only here. You can tell the staff have a real passion on their work running as a family business. Unlike other places in Agra they never paid commission to guides in Agra. I was pushed my my guide to see a different shop and they just pushed me hard to buy their low quality product. There is NO pressure selling here you just browse and buy if you like it. It is hard to say why anyone wouldn't buy something from here.
