The road arrives before the mausoleum does: a smooth ribbon of highway that slides past mustard fields and the occasional line of banyan trees, carrying travelers from Delhi into the flat floodplain where the Yamuna keeps time. By the time the Taj Mahal emerges—an almost geometric white silhouette against the sky—visitors are already primed for its scale. The marble seems to hold breath; the river dares the reflecting pools to keep pace.
