You step from the Gatimaan Express into Agra's heat and find marble waiting like a held breath — the Taj Mahal rising across manicured gardens, its white face catching light and holding it. The train's punctual whisper leaves Delhi behind; by midmorning you are walking paths worn by centuries of visitors, the Yamuna flowing nearby as if to keep watch over the monument.
