A city wakes before dawn in the capital—rickshaws hum, jasmine tea steams—and a private car threads past Lutyens' avenues toward Humayun's Tomb. The first day moves like a history lesson in stone: Mughal gardens, the soaring red-and-marble shaft of Qutub Minar and the hulking Rashtrapati Bhavan, each landmark a chapter in north India's imperial story.
