Humayun's Tomb in India is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture, built in the mid-16th century. Located in Delhi, the tomb was commissioned by Humayun's widow, Empress Bega Begum, in 1569-70. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is notable for its stunning Persian-influenced design, featuring a large, central dome and extensive use of red sandstone and white marble. The tomb is set within a vast, charbagh (four-quadrant garden) with pathways, water channels, and lush greenery, symbolizing the Islamic idea of paradise.
