Very well maintained in good conditions. Very impressive and precise art of building construction. Unfortunately, all information boards are separated and far away from the main object, so detailes identification is quite difficult.

It is in great condition and not too crowded. Taj mahal is based on this design.

Humayun's tomb gathers history to its bosom. Named for the Moghul Emperor who lived in hardship so his dynasty may flourish, the tomb with its stark and imposing structure brings a remembrance of the past. Today its a park with fountains and flowers and majestic old trees that attract rare birds. Brilliantly restored, the building and the gardens are a...

Heard the Taj Mahal was somewhat based on this complex. This one is a little smaller and of course done in brown stone.

Again minimal facilities around the property and...

Nothing big to boast about. Just another tomb to commemorate how moguls ruled our place just wasted the money from Indian treasure to build cemeteries for their bellowed people. And visiting such places in the hot summer in delhi is another disaster.
