You step out of the Delhi airport before dawn, the air carrying the distant rush of the Yamuna. A private car waits; the highway unfurls toward Agra and the promise of white marble that changes with the light. By mid-morning the Taj Mahal rises across manicured lawns—its polished Makrana marble cool and luminous against an open sky.
