3. Named as the ‘Baby Taj’, this monument is considered the inspiration for the world wonder, Taj Mahal. However, the tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daulah is a more delicate artwork with marble lattice screens and fine carvings. This is the first Mughal structure made with marbles by Nur Jahan, mother of Shah Jahan (builder of Taj Mahal). This was the first of many tombs to be erected on the banks of River Yamuna.

About Neu-Delhi

Neu-Delhi verbindet die stattlichen Alleen der Hauptstadt mit den Basaren und Mogulbauten Alt-Delhis: Reiche in Schichten und großartiges Essen.

Die geplante Hauptstadt ist auf eine große Prachtstraße ausgerichtet, die vom India Gate zum Rashtrapati Bhavan, dem Präsidentenpalast, führt. In der Nähe liegt Humayuns Grabmal, ein Vorläufer des Taj Mahal, in formalen Gärten, und im Süden ragt der Qutb Minar auf, ein hohes Minarett aus Sandstein. Der Lotustempel und die riesige Anlage von Akshardham setzen markante moderne Akzente.

Top-ranked sights in Neu-Delhi: India Gate, Jama Masjid (Masjid e Jahan Numa), Chandni Chowk.
