The morning begins on a quiet Delhi road as an air-conditioned car eases out of the city and the landscape opens into the flat plains that cradle Agra. By mid-morning the marble dome appears across low rooftops; the Yamuna slips alongside the city, its current daring you to step closer and take in the Taj Mahal from every angle.
