Humayun's tomb (Persian: آرامگاه همایون Maqbara e Humayun Turkish: Hümayun Kabri) is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's son Akbar) in 1569-70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a Persian architect chosen by Bega Begum. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah citadel also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun founded in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete. Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.
Humayun (Persian: نصیر الدین محمد همایون; Turkish: Hümayûn; OS 7 March 1508 – OS 27 January 1556) was the second Mughal Emperor who ruled over territory in what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of northern India from 1531–1540 and again from 1555–1556. Like his father, Babur, he lost his kingdom early, but regained it with the aid of the Safavid dynasty of Persia, with additional territory. At the time of his death in 1556, the Mughal Empire spanned almost one million square kilometers.
Humayun succeeded his father in December 1530, as ruler of the Mughal territories in the Indian subcontinent. At the age of 23, Humayun was an inexperienced ruler when he came to power. His half-brother Kamran Mirza inherited Kabul and Lahore, the northernmost parts of their father's empire. Mirza was to become a bitter rival of Humayun.
Humayun lost Mughal territories to the Pashtun noble, Sher Shah Suri, and, with Persian (Safavid) aid, regained them 15 years later. Humayun's return from Persia was accompanied by a large retinue of Persian noblemen and signaled an important change in Mughal court culture. The Central Asian origins of the dynasty were largely overshadowed by the influences of Persian art, architecture, language and literature. There are many stone carvings and thousands of Persian manuscripts in India dating from the time of Humayun.

Restoring THE GOLD FINIAL with funding and technical supervision of the Titan Company and in partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India. On 30 May 2014, during a sandstorm of unprecedented wind velocity exceeding 150 km/ hour the wooden core of Humayun's Tomb's finial snapped at the point where this rises above the dome - causing the 300 kilos of copper vessels to come crashing on the roof – 70 feet below. After the inspections carried out in the aftermath of the collapse, led to the agreement that following repairs to the vessels the finial should be preserved and displayed in the secure environment of the proposed Humayun’s Tomb Interpretation Centre. The film talks about the story of the creation of the Humayun's Tomb finial, which had a team of architects, engineers, scienti...
With the Mughal details uncovered, conserved, restored where these had been obliterated by 20th century repairs, the Mughal grandeur at the World Heritage Site of Humayun's Tomb has been once again revealed. Working on a World Heritage Site, where integrity and authenticity had been compromised by past repairs, posed a significant challenge as did the need to reconstruct collapsed portions of structures that had partially collapsed a century ago. Major works have been undertaken by the ASI-AKTC team, to halt the accelerated deterioration that had set in as a result of past repairs with modern materials. Million kilos of concrete was removed from the roof, 200000 square feet of lime plaster restored, 40,000 square feet of stone paving lifted and reset on the plinth and similarly on the s...

The sights and sounds of an afternoon at Humayun's Tomb. Really a nice hour's tour. One thing I really found awesome was the vultures hovering around the place. The taxi touts are horrendous outside this complex, so you should organise a chaffeur to wait for you until you are finished and then go home with him, rather than catch another taxi there and then. Recorded February 17, 2013.
