The day begins before dawn: a hotel pickup in Bengaluru at 2:00 AM, the airport’s fluorescence still humming, and a packed flight that slices south-to-north across peninsular plains. By midmorning you’re rolling toward Agra on the Yamuna’s floodplain, and the Taj Mahal appears — its white marble catching sunlight like a quiet challenge from the river itself.

Conservation
