You step off a short flight into Agra as pale morning light thins across the Yamuna, and the Taj Mahal first appears like a white tide rising from the river plain. The marble throws back soft blue and gold; the plaza hums with guides, pigeons and the distant calls of market vendors. That first walk through the gateway feels deliberate—this is a structure that shapes how the city moves around it.
