Humayun's Tomb: a Mughal architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site

Humayun Tomb - Delhi

Humayun’s Tomb—a beautiful mix of red sandstone and white marble that changed the style of Mughal buildings forever. It was built in 1570 by Empress Bega Begum in memory of her husband, Emperor Humayun. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is often called the “inspiration” for the Taj Mahal.

The tomb stands in the middle of large Charbagh-style gardens (gardens divided into four parts). With its water channels, tall gateways, and big dome shining under Delhi’s sky, the whole place feels like a piece of paradise. Inside, the tomb is cool and peaceful, almost as if time has slowed down to respect the emperor’s resting place.

Walking through the gardens, watching the sunlight on the marble dome, and listening to the soft sound of fountains makes it feel like a calm escape from the busy city. It’s also a perfect place for photography - whether you want wide views of the gardens or close shots of the detailed Mughal designs.

Best Time to Visit: October to March offers the perfect weather. Early mornings bring softer light and fewer visitors, while late afternoons bathe the gardens in a golden glow.
