A late-morning sun warms the black marble of Raj Ghat as the guide steps out of a cool, private vehicle and leads the group across trimmed lawns toward a low platform — the spot where a nation paused to mourn. The river Yamuna runs nearby, its slow current daring visitors to look beyond the city’s bustle to the quieter frame of post‑colonial history.
