Humayun's Tomb

ai generated text

Humayun's Tomb is a garden-tomb in Delhi, India, commissioned by Empress Bega Begum in 1558 for her husband, Emperor Humayun, and designed by Persian architects Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent and the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb complex was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and has undergone extensive restoration work. It houses the graves of Empress Bega Begum, Hajji Begum, and several subsequent Mughal emperors, and is a leap in Mughal architecture that set a precedent for subsequent Mughal architecture, including the Taj Mahal.learn more on wikipedia
