Before dawn you pull away from New Delhi, the city lights shrinking as the expressway opens toward the Yamuna plains. The road hums; drivers and guides trade stories of Mughal courts and Rajasthani kings while the first marble of the Taj catches pale morning light. On day one the mausoleum’s white surface reads like a living map of empire and devotion. By evening you’re in Jaipur, where pink sandstone and the low profile of the Aravalli Hills reframe the horizon.
