HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE OF HUMAYUN TOMB

Hello Guys!! I hope you all are doing, So here i am back with my new blog in which i am gonna tell you about the architecture of Humayun Tomb, In previous blog i wrote who built the tomb so i'll continue from there.  I hope through my blogs you'll get more information about the history of the Delhi.

HISTORY OF HUMAYUN'S TOMB

The story is what when Humayun dies, he was buried at the palace at Purana Quila(Old Fort) at Delhi. It was at this time during the battles to capture Delhi, The Hindu King "Hemu" had defeated the Mughals in Agra and Delhi in 1556 and had captured Purana Quila. It was decided that he would be buried in a special tomb, Hence a tomb was built and his body was reburied at the purpose built mausoleum. The construction of the tomb of Humayun began in 1569 and was completed in 1572, 9 years after the death of Humayun where his body was last laid to rest.

ARCHITECTURE OF HUMAYUN'S TOMB

The complex consists of a large garden laid out in four-fold style. There are several pools in the garden which are all joined by channels. There are two entrances to the tomb- the main is in the South of the complex and the other one is on the west . Along the northern and eastern walls are a pavilion and a bath.

It is an Octagon with four long and four short sides. Atop this irregular octagon is a pair of 42.5 meters high domes which themselves are surrounded by pillared Kiosks, At the middle of each side, huge arched vaults are to be found and a number of smaller ones. Inside there is an Octagon chamber.

The original plan was so good and the construction materials used of such a high quality that there have been only minimal architectural interventions in the original structure since then impact of this tomb on Mughal Architecture. 

The Humayun's tomb marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Sub-continental and Islamic architecture in India. After this, a series of tombs were constructed for Kings and Nawabs.

Hello Guys!!! I hope you'll are doing fine during this lockdown, As well are seeing there is a daily increase in the cases of coronavirus in the whole world. I hope all this will get better in comings days, So today i'll tell you about the Humayun Tomb. 

The Mughal era is my most favorite part of Indian history. Humayun's Tomb, the tomb of the great Mughal Emperor Humayun, was built way back in 1572 by his widow Bega Begum, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. It's said to be the first garden tomb to be built in the Indian subcontinent and is the one of the first monuments to be made using the combination of red sandstone and white marble in India.

It's such an amazing thing that how a magnificent structure is nestled in the middle of the city and transports you back in time, all while offering the most peaceful surrounding. The Tomb was converted into a sizeable heritage, ecological and nursery zone over the span of a decade, 

The Sunder Nursery was established in 20th century, It was used as place for propagating trees and other plants to be used in the new capital city, and also for testing species brought from other parts of india and from overseas, to pick those which successfully thrive in Delhi's harsh climate

The entry ticket of the tomb ost you 50 rupees per head, i will recommend you to visit the place because our generation is forgetting our history, there are so many people who born and brought up in delhi and never been to the monuments in Delhi.
