Humayuns Tomb, Delhi

If walls could whisper, Humayun"s Tomb would share stories of love, legacy and beautiful artistry. This magnificent monument in Delhi, is India"s first-ever garden tomb and the final resting place of Mughal emperor Humayun. This grand structure was commissioned by Humayun"s chief consort, Bega Begum (also called Haji Begum). Determined to honour the emperor"s legacy, Bega Begum entrusted Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas with bringing her vision to reality. However, he passed away before the project"s completion, leaving his son, Sayyid Muhammad ibn Mirak Ghiyath Ud Din, to carry forward his work. Construction began in 1565, nine years after Humayun"s passing, and was completed in 1572.
