Album Info:
This serene, enormous red sandstone monument is dedicated to the second of India’s Mughal emperors, who lost an empire, recaptured it, and died in 1556 in an unlucky tumble down a staircase. It is a precursor to the Taj Mahal and an early example of Mughal architecture. One highlight is the pearly-white onion dome. Built in the 1560s for Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, the domed mausoleum has an elaborate garden, potted with red sandstone tombs, gates and a mosque. Savor it at the golden end of the day.
