Soami Bagh Samadh
स्वामी बाग़
A white marble memorial hall for the founder of the Radha Soami faith. Construction has continued since 1904, the carving is finely detailed, and it is often called the “other Taj Mahal.”
The temple is the mausoleum of Shiv Dayal Singh, founder of the Radha Soami faith. Built entirely of white marble, its exterior carvings and colored inlays focus on flower and fruit motifs, with no religious icons. For more than a century, followers have kept building it by hand. Entry is free. Photography is not allowed inside, and you must remove your shoes. It is in the Dayalbagh community in the north of the city, about 6 km from Agra Fort, roughly 20 minutes by taxi.
