Humayun's Tomb

The mausoleum of the Mughal emperor Humayun at Delhi, called by the Encyclopaedia of Islam the first major Mughal building in the city, begun by his widow about 976/1568 with the Persian architect Ghiyath and set in a chaharbagh enclosure 340 metres on a side. It has a bulbous double dome on a high drum, red sandstone walls inlaid with marble, and neighbouring buildings including the tomb of Isa Khan and the Nila Gumbad. Rezavi ranks it with the Taj Mahal as the best-known building on the Timurid nine-part plan.
