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 New Delhi

New Delhi forener Indias hovedstads staselige alléer med Gamle Delhis basarer og mogulmonumenter, en by av lag på lag av imperier og fantastisk mat.

Den planlagte hovedstaden har sitt sentrum i en stor seremoniell allé som løper fra Indiaporten til Rashtrapati Bhavan, presidentpalasset. I nærheten ligger Humayuns grav, en forløper for Taj Mahal, i formelle hager, og i sør reiser Qutub Minar seg, en tårnhøy minaret av sandstein. Lotustempelet og det enorme Akshardham-komplekset er slående moderne landemerker.
