## About
Agra is a city defined by a singular, monumental masterpiece, yet experienced through a haze of diesel exhaust, persistent touts, and chaotic streets. The contrast between the sublime white marble of the Taj Mahal and the gritty, frantic urban reality of modern Uttar Pradesh is the defining characteristic of any visit. It is a destination that demands tactical planning rather than casual wandering.
