The tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun is a place of great peace amongst the chaotic streets of Delhi. Commissioned in 1562 AD by Humayun's wife, the tomb is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered to be one of the first garden tombs in India. The large complex was designed by a Persian architect and also houses the graves of Humayun's wife, son and other Mughals. Surrounding the tomb is the Char Bagh Garden, a traditional and highly maintained Persian style garden. After exploring the tomb, take a moment to enjoy the quiet and peace of the surrounding gardens and admire this beautiful monument.
