You step out of an air-conditioned sedan into the warm breath of Agra morning: broad red-sandstone gateways, sparrows darting through arched corridors, and the murmur of vendors beyond the garden walls. The day opens at Sikandra, Akbar’s tomb, where the scale of stone and the rhythm of carved jali invite slow walking and careful listening. Peacocks preen in the lawns while the marble and sandstone planes shift color as the sun climbs.
