You step out of an air-conditioned car onto a hot marble plaza as dawn light sharpens the Taj Mahal’s silhouette; an early guide folds a map and points where the river keeps its own company with the mausoleum’s reflection. Over the next three days you’ll move from Delhi’s layered streets and Mughal gardens to Agra’s riverfront monuments and the pink walls of Jaipur — a compact arc of India’s most photographed sites.
