Humayun's Tomb: A great piece of Architecture

Tripoto

Humayun's Tomb located opposite Dargah Nizamuddin is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. It was built in 1565 A.D. nine years after the death of Humayun by his senior widow Bega Begam. Its an excellent example of Persian Architecture.  The tomb is a World Heritage Site as declared by UNESCO in 1993. Humayun's Tomb is one of the most beautiful monuments in Delhi but you don't see it as often as you see India gate, Qutub Minar or Lal Quila. Humayun's tomb is sublimely well proportioned, seeming to float above its symmetrical gardens. It is one of the eminent structures of the Mughal Dynasty that is regarded as the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent.

To reach here, nearest metro station is JLN Stadium. From there you can take a shared auto to reach the monument. Entry tickets are only 30 rs. If you are a photographer, Try visiting in early morning or late afternoon to get the best shots you'd have ever captured.

Here are some snaps which i have captured with my phone. Do visit the place if you have not visited yet. Tell me in comments what are the hidden gems in Delhi which are still untouched by tourists! I'll visit those places one by one and update you through my blog.
