Humayun's
tomb is a grand affair, built by his widow who brought 300 craftsmen from Persia
for this job. This magnificent tomb in red sandstone, crowned by a glorious
double-dome in marble stands on a terrace, Char Bagh-the authentic Islamic lay
out for a paradise on earth. Four canals divide the garden into four sections.
In the central domed chamber is Humayun's grave lying in isolated grandeur.
Some less fortunate later Mughal princes are also buried here. In 1857, Bahadur
shah II sought refuge in the tomb but was captured, tried and exiled.
