The Gatimaan Express thunders out of New Delhi at first light and, within two hours, the flat plains give way to the low, ochre skyline of Agra. You step off the train into a humid morning where the Yamuna dares the city with a slow current; the marble of the Taj Mahal waits across that river like a story held open.
