You step onto Nizamuddin station platform as the morning light slants across steel rails; the train hums, coffee steams in paper cups, and the city slips away. Two hours later Agra appears—its low skyline and the Yamuna waiting like an invitation—and the Taj Mahal first registers as a precise, luminous presence rather than a photograph.
