A pale morning light softens the white marble as your guide leads you across the Taj Mahal platform — the monument’s surface cooling beneath measured footsteps. The Yamuna slips past the fort’s base, its current quietly framing vistas that once defined imperial sightlines. This is Agra at its most focused: monuments, markets, and the slow work of craft passed between generations.
