The sun is low over the Yamuna as your air‑conditioned car eases onto the expressway and the flat fields give way to the soft silhouette of white marble. By the time you step into the charbagh—the formal Mughal garden—first light sharpens the Taj Mahal’s reflection and the monument seems to breathe with the river beside it. That first view is deliberate: symmetry, scale, and the slow reveal of inlaid panels and calligraphy.
