Loading photo...

The Humayun tomb garden is one of the most popular sites of visit in Delhi. The second Mughal monarch Humayun died after he won Delhi again. His wife, Hamida Begum, who was of Persian origin, commissioned the construction of his tomb. The construction was completed within the time from 1562-1572.

Designed by the noted Persian architect, Mirak Mirza Ghiyuath. Humayun’s tomb also houses the remains of hundreds of members from the Mughal times. The tomb is situated on the bank of River Yamuna and is said to have been a pattern of later Mughal mausoleum architectural styles in India. The entry fee to this beautiful garden is Rs. 10 for Indian and $5 for foreigner. However, on Fridays the entry is free.
