Humayun's
Tomb ;-
The tomb is one of the best preserved examples of Mughal architecture.
Humayun's senior wife Haji Begum had it built in the mid-16th century.
The squat building, graced by high arched entrances topped by a bulbous
dome is surrounded by formal gardens.
This style of architecture was refined over the years, ultimately
resulting in the magnificence of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Haji Begum
too is buried in the tomb.Entry is free on Friday. On other days,
there is a small entry fee. There is an excellent view of the surrounding
country from the terraces of the tomb. |
