About Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's tomb, called Maqbara-i Humayun in Persian, is the tomb of Humayun, a Mughal emperor, in Delhi, India. Empress Bega Begum, who was the emperor's first wife and chief consort, commissioned it. Sayyid Muhammad and his father, Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, were the Persian architects she personally chose. The tomb sits in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, near Purana Qila (Old Fort), also called the Dina-panah Citadel, which Humayun founded in 1538.
It was the subcontinent's first garden-tomb, and no earlier structure had used red sandstone on such a scale. Construction began in 1565 and ended in 1572. The cost was 1.5 million rupees, all paid by the Empress. UNESCO declared the tomb a World Heritage Site in 1993, and extensive restoration work followed.
The complex is built around a Charbagh garden, a Persian garden type that was new to India. Four promenades radiating out from a central reflection pool divided it into four squares, and the garden spread over 13 hectares around the monument. The design drew on Gur-e Amir, Timur's tomb in Samarkand, and the tomb set a precedent for later Mughal royal mausolea, a line that reached its zenith with the Taj Mahal in Agra.
