You step from an air-conditioned car onto a wide marble forecourt as the morning light sharpens the Taj Mahal’s silhouette; the Yamuna whispers on the far side, lending the white dome an almost luminous hush. The day unfolds as a measured loop through Mughal history—an approach that lets the monument’s scale and detail sink in rather than overwhelm.
