Humayun’s Tomb | Akshardham Temple | Delhi Diaries | Must visit locations in Delhi

Humayun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's chief consort, Empress Bega Begum in 1558, and designed by Architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad, Persian architects chosen by her. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah Citadel, also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun found in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE. Inspired by Persian architecture; the tomb reaches a height of 47 metres (154 ft) and the plinth is 91 metres (299 ft) wide, and was the first Indian building to use the Persian double dome on a high neck drum, and measures 42.5 metres (139 ft), and is topped by 6 metres (20 ft) high brass finial ending in a crescent, common in Timurid tombs. The double or 'double-layered' dome, has an outer layer that supports the white marble exterior, while the inner part gives shape to the cavernous interior volume. In a contrast to the pure white exterior dome, the rest of the building is made up of red sandstone, with white and black marble and yellow sandstone detailing, to relieve the monotony. Humayun’s tomb is set in a walled garden. Arcade walls enclosed the huge garden. Which is divided by wide pathways in to four quadrants. Narrow walkways, with water channels representing the rivars of the Quranic paradise, further divided each quadrant in to grids of eight squares, the ninth being occupied by the enormous tomb platform. Tomb Garden: mango and neem were planted along the enclosure wall, flowering hibiscus is planted in clusters at the termination of pathways along the walls, and groves of pomegranate were planted on the eastern side of the garden. Mugal emperor Babur listed 8 species of fragrant citrus, and used them in the gardens he created. In India there was a long tradition of building in stone. For Humayun’s tomb, red sandstone and white marbles was used, applied in distinct bands and borders to cover a rubble masonry structure built with grey Delhi quartzite. This made it different from monuments in west Asia where they were built in brick, and covered with glazed ceramic tiles. The marbles was probably brought from Rajasthan, and the red and yellow sandstone from quarries near Agra, and brought in barges up the Yamuna. Hundred of Persian and Indian craftsmen worked on the monument which was completed in eight years. Swaminarayan Akshardham:- Swaminarayan Akshardham the ‘eternal abode’ is a 100 acres cultural complex in India’s capital Delhi. It showcases Indian art, architecture, culture, values, and wisdom as a tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781-1830), a torchbearer of Indian culture.
