You arrive on the Yamuna Expressway as fields flatten into Agra’s pale cityscape, the Taj Mahal’s marble crown catching the sun like a dare. The day unfolds as a compact circuit: the Taj itself, the intimate Itmad-ud-Daula (the so-called Baby Taj), the tile-worked Chini ka Roza, and Mehtab Bagh across the river where the mausoleum’s reflection waits in calm water.
