4. Itmad-ud-Daulah, located in Agra, India, is a Mughal mausoleum often described as a "jewel box" or the "Baby Taj." It was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who was given the title "Itmad-ud-Daulah," which translates to "Pillar of the State." Construction of the tomb began in 1622 and was completed in 1628. It is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal due to its intricate marble work and delicate carvings, which are considered some of the finest examples of Mughal architecture from that period. Itmad-ud-Daulah is also significant as the first Mughal structure in India to be built entirely of marble. You can either visit Itmad-Ud-Daulah Tomb or Agra Fort.

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.
