• Architecture
  The tomb stands right in the middle of a square garden which is beautifully divided into four paved path ways, and thus it is called Charbagh. The compound that is strengthened using rubble gets its grandeur from double-storied gateways standing at the West and South. A Bardari and a Hammam inhabit the Eastern and the centre of the Northern wall respectively. Humayun Tomb was the first antique architecture that was constructed using red sandstone in massive numbers. The structure of the mausoleum represents a square double-storied structure, exhibiting corners which are cut at right angles. It rises from a terrace which is again square in shape. The grave is centralized in the cell complex and can be reached using a passage on the south. The central chamber, given an octagonal shape, houses the Cenotaph. However, the other graves are put in the corner chambers, which can be reached through their diagonal sides. The exterior of the tomb is overpowered by three arched alcoves out of which the central one is the highest. The elevations of the tomb are ornamented with marble borders and panels. a similar plan was enacted on the second floor. However, roof is mastered by a double dome of marble which is 42.5 m in thickness and has pillared kiosks installed all over it. more..
