Built in 1565 AD by Haji Begum, the Persian born senior wife of Humayun, this tomb is an important landmark in the history of Indian architecture. Its uniqueness lies in the introduction of certain Persian features, viz the bulbous double dome and surrounding formal gardens. Held as "an Indian interpretation of a Persian conception", this tomb is the general dormitory of so many distinguished personalities of the Mughal dynasty, like Haji Begum, trunk of Dara Shikoh (Shahjahan's son) emperor Jahandar Shah and Frarruksiyar as well as Humayun's barber. The octagonal shape of the establishment is visible from its gateways. Three stunning arches seem like festooning the entire edifice beautifully among of which the central one is the highest. The impressive crown of 42.5 m high colossal double dome adds up to the timeless appeal of the structure. The red sandstones and white and black marble were used while the construction of Humayun Tomb. The concept of double dome is borrowed from Persian methodology of architecture.
