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 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.
