Before dawn the marble exhales light. You’ll be on the road while the highway clears — Yamuna Expressway unfurling like a promise between the capital’s skyline and the low fields that fold into Agra. At sunrise the Taj Mahal’s white face changes from pearly gray to warm ivory; the crowds are smaller, the air cooler, and the monument’s carved pietra dura catches the first real light.
