The 10-day annual cultural extravaganza 'Taj Mahotsav', which was to begin here from February 18-28, has been cancelled over fears of further spread of the novel coronavirus, officials said on Saturday.

The Agra tourism circles expressed disappointment over the cancellation of the event which attracts tourists from all walks of life every year and artisans from across the country to display their arts at the Shilpgram complex, situated close to the Taj Mahal.
