5. The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," is a Mughal-era mausoleum located in Agra, India. Built between 1622 and 1628 by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, the tomb is dedicated to her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who was given the title of Itimad-ud-Daulah, meaning "Pillar of the State." This exquisite monument is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, showcasing intricate Persian-inspired architecture with delicate marble inlay work, lattice screens, and floral motifs. Unlike earlier Mughal tombs made of red sandstone, this mausoleum is the first to be entirely constructed from white marble, setting a new architectural trend in India. Nestled along the banks of the Yamuna River, the tomb's serene gardens and elegant craftsmanship make it a must-visit historical site in Agra.

About New Delhi

New Delhi verbindt de statige lanen van de Indiase hoofdstad met de bazaars en Mogolmonumenten van Oud-Delhi: een stad van rijken en geweldig eten.

De geplande hoofdstad draait om een grote ceremoniële laan van de India Gate naar Rashtrapati Bhavan, het presidentieel paleis. Daarbij in de buurt ligt Humayuns graftombe, een voorloper van de Taj Mahal, in een formele tuin, en in het zuiden rijst de Qutb Minar op, een torenhoge minaret van zandsteen. De Lotustempel en het enorme Akshardham-complex zijn opvallende moderne bezienswaardigheden.
