Onetime capital of the Mughal Empire

Answer:

AGRA

Hint:

This Indian city is famous for its stunning white marble mausoleum and sits on the banks of the Yamuna River.

Explanation:

This clue points to Agra, a historic city in India that served as the Mughal Empire’s capital during the 16th and early 17th centuries under emperors like Akbar and Shah Jahan. It’s famously home to the Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, which makes the city a well-known reference in history and culture. The word "onetime" simply means "former," so the clue is straightforward—no wordplay or tricks here.
