If you are showing someone India for the first time, start here. Delhi gives you the layers of old and new; Agra holds the Taj Mahal and a fort that rivals it; Jaipur brings in the colour and pageantry of Rajasthan.
The distances are short and the roads are good, so this route balances sightseeing with time to rest, shop and eat well.
