Humayun’s Tomb, built in 1570, is considered the first example of Mughal architecture in India, blending Persian and Indian styles.
It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, recognizing its cultural and architectural significance.
The tomb served as a model for the Taj Mahal, influencing Mughal architecture across India.
It is the final resting place of Mughal Emperor Humayun and his descendants.
The tomb is surrounded by a vast charbagh (formal garden) that symbolizes paradise, with water channels and lush greenery.
The structure features a large central dome, intricate red sandstone and white marble inlay work, and detailed tile work.
It marked a shift from simple tombs to elaborate mausoleums, setting a precedent for Mughal architecture.
