About the Event

If you're looking to get introduced to heritage in Delhi, we have just the monument to start with. Humayun's Tomb takes us back to the defeat of the Rajput ruler, Prithviraj Chauhan; when the Delhi Sultanate was established. Under this regime, Delhi was ruled by 7 dynasties, one of them being the Mughal dynasty. Get up close with their customs, practices and architectural style at Humayun's tomb - a marvellous structure that we can't get enough of.


Currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was the first garden-tomb in the Indian subcontinent. It even sparked major architectural innovations and garden complexes, notably the Taj Mahal. 
While you're there, make sure to look up and catch a glimpse of the large octagonal chamber, that has vaulted roof compartments interconnected by galleries or corridors. What adds to the beauty of the stone-clad monument is the red sandstone featuring white and black inlaid marble borders.
Get your tickets to Humayun's tomb and explore the architectural marvel in person.
