Humayun's Tomb is the first garden tomb in India. It has 36 grids and water channel paths running along the place. The garden of the tomb is designed in Persian style.

The lush garden around the tomb is square in shape and is divided into four big squares by causeways and channels.

These squares are further divided into smaller parts creating the Char Bagh. Entry to Humayun's Tomb in Delhi is led through an axial processional track with gateways on the way.

The Humayun's Tomb boasts of an octagonal shape. It is constructed on a platform and row of pillars. Under the platform, you can see three more graves of less popular people. Humayun's Tomb is basically made of red sandstone.

However, you can find an intelligent use of black and white marbles in the structure that break the uniformity and monotony.

Humayun's Tomb is based on the guidelines of Islamic Paradise Gardens.

It is considered to be an inspiring force behind the later Mughal landmark architectures that include the world famous Taj Mahal as well.

Built in 1570, Humayun's Tomb has been declared a World Heritage Site of UNESCO and a protected monument under Archeological Survey of India.

Humayun's Tomb was built by his Persian wife, Haji Begum or Bega begum. She became widow after the accident of Humayun, who took over the Mughal Dynasty after Babar's death.
