Humayun & Safdarjung Tomb

Category:- All India Travel Tourism > Delhi > Historical Places > Tomb


Humayun's Tomb Humayun's Tomb
The tomb is one of the best preserved examples of Mughal architecture. Humayun's senior wife Haji Begum had it built in the mid-16th century. The squat building, graced by high arched entrances topped by a bulbous dome is surrounded by formal gardens. This style of architecture was refined over the years, ultimately resulting in the magnificence of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Haji Begum too is buried in the tomb.Entry is free on Friday. On other days, there is a small entry fee. There is an excellent view of the surrounding country from the terraces of the tomb.

Nizamuddin Shrine Nizamuddin Shrine
The shrine of the Muslim Sufi saint, Nizamuddin Chishti, who died in 1325 aged 92, is across the road from Humayun's tomb. With its large tank, it is one of several interesting tombs here. Other tombs include the later grave of Jahanara, the daughter of Shan Jahan, Amir Khusru, a renowned Urdu poet, also has his tomb here as does Atgah Khan, a favourite of Humayun and his son Akbar. It's worth visiting the shrine at around sunset on Thursdays, as it is a popular time for worship, and qawwali singers start performing after the evening prayers.


Safdarjung Tomb
Safdarjung Tomb

The Safdarjang Tomb was built in 1753-54 by the Nawab of Avadh for his father, Safdarjang, and is one of the last examples of Mughal architecture. The tomb stands on a high terrace in an extensive garden. Entry is free on Friday. On other days a small entry fee is charged.
