I should really brush up on famous Indian figures.
The National Museum proved to be quite exhausting, especially when operating on little sleep. While waiting for Molly and Triin to finish up, I definitely took an impromptu snooze. We decided to return to the hostel for a rest before visiting our next destination.
We tried to time it to be at Humayun’s Tomb for golden hour. Unfortunately, golden hour (one hour before sunset) is also just about the time the park closes. We had limited time but luckily still managed to take a few nice photos. [Ok, the second one has some issues…]
Humayun’s Tomb was built by his wife as she grieved his death. It was built before the Taj Mahal in 1565-1572AD. It stands 47 meters high. Imagine this, the small canopy domes were originally covered in bright blue tile. Beautiful.
Located just next door is Isa Khan’s tomb. It was built 12 years before Humayun’s.
xo, jill
Yes, we enjoyed this tomb also. There was no water when we were there (as there seems to be in your first picture). Also there were several parts under reconstruction and therefor inaccessible:-(.
