Delhi's Hidden Gem✨

Humayun's Tomb is a World Heritage Site located in Delhi, India, and was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. This tomb is known as India's first full-scale Mughal garden tomb, and is famous for having had a great influence on the Taj Mahal that was built later. 🥺

The contrast between the red sandstone and white marble is simply beautiful, and the gardens and corridors are also photogenic. As it is also registered as a World Heritage Site, you will surely be impressed by the weight of history and sophisticated design.

【 Value as a World Heritage Site 】

India's first garden tomb: Humayun's Tomb is the first Mughal building to adopt the Persian-style Charbagh (quartered garden) design. It is characterized by the beautiful geometric gardens surrounding the tomb, and this style also had a great influence on later Mughal architecture.

Humayun's Tomb is a standard spot for sightseeing in Delhi, but it is also a hidden attraction where you can spend some time relaxing. If you visit Delhi, be sure to stop by and experience its history and beauty!

*Trivia🫘
Humayun's Tomb was ordered to be built by Emperor Humayun's wife Haji Begum in memory of her husband. A tomb built by a woman like this is the opposite of the Taj Mahal (built by Shah Jahan for his wife)🤗
