The day opens on broad avenues and a slow-moving current of city life as an air-conditioned car pulls away from a Delhi hotel and into eight hours of architectural contrasts. Stone minarets and red-sandstone ramparts alternate with modern government buildings; the guide’s voice cuts through the traffic like a compass, pointing toward Mughal gardens, colonial-era boulevards, and the ethereal curves of the Lotus Temple.
