Dawn breaks over New Delhi’s ring roads and the city exhales into the highway — your private car threading out past government buildings and mustard fields toward the Yamuna plain. By sunrise the Taj Mahal sits across the river like a pale promise, its marble reflecting early light; later days trade white marble for rose-hued palaces and stone observatories as you move between Mughal and Rajput chapters of northern India.
