Information About

Humayun's Tomb




The tomb of Humayun was built by the orders of Hamida Banu Begum , Humayun's widow starting in 1562. The architect of the edifice was reportedly ''Sayyed Muhammad ibn Mirak Ghiyathuddin'' and his father ''Mirak Ghiyathuddin'' who were brought in from Herat . It took 8 years to build and had a Chahr Bagh Garden Style in its design.

Restoration work by the Archaeological Survey Of India was completed in March 2003 , enabling water to flow through the watercourses in the gardens once more.
