The day begins before sunrise on the banks of the Yamuna, where the Taj Mahal first shows its pale face and the city hums awake. Travelers move in a private car through flat plains of wheat and mustard, the road punctuated by red sandstone domes and the occasional cluster of peacocks that cross the verge like small, iridescent interruptions.
