You leave Delhi before dawn, the expressway slicing through flat fields as the sky lightens. By mid-morning the air in Vrindavan smells of incense and frying sweets; priests chant while pilgrims move like currents through narrow temple lanes. Later, the Yamuna accompanies the road south, and at Agra the Taj Mahal rises, its marble catching the sun like something set in motion.
