You arrive before dawn, the air cool and the Yamuna river pushing forward beneath the bridge as the Taj Mahal’s silhouette sharpens against a paleening sky. Light creeps along the white marble; the mausoleum seems to inhale and exhale with the morning. A private vehicle ferries you through sleepy streets, while a local guide sets the scene for the day.
