The petha lanes at Noori Darwaza

Walk the lane where Agra's translucent ash-gourd sweet is boiled in open vats, past shops that sell it dry, syrup-soaked, saffron, paan and cherry, and taste the difference between a fresh one and the kind that travels.

Sold by weight; a box is inexpensive · shop hours; the making is a morning activity

The Sheroes Hangout cafe, run by acid-attack survivors

Eat in a cafe where the women running the counter are survivors of acid attacks, in a room set up to put them back in public life rather than to make a point of their faces.

Fixed menu at fixed prices; the pay-what-you-want model ended around 2020 · Any time the cafe is open
