Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's tomb is a grand affair, built by his widow who brought 300 craftsmen
from Persia for this job.
This magnificent tomb in red sandstone, crowned by a glorious double-dome in
marble stands on a terrace, Char Bagh-the authentic Islamic lay out for a paradise
on earth.
Four canals divide the garden into four sections.
In the central domed chamber is Humayun's grave lying in isolated grandeur.
Some less fortunate later Mughal princes are also buried here.
In 1857, Bahadur shah II sought refuge in the tomb but was captured, tried and
exiled.
