You arrive before the marble catches the full sun: a pale monument sitting beside the Yamuna, its white surface shifting from pearly blue to warm cream as the day wakes. The drive from Jaipur threads through the plains—farmland, small towns, and the occasional spice-scented market—until Agra unfurls at the edge of the river.
