A Pink Fantasy
This is Ali Isa Khan Niazi's tomb which is beside Humayun's Tomb in Delhi.
It was built 20 years before Humayun's tomb complex and it is situated at the first entrance of the gardens.
The complex is a World Heritage Site and the first example of this type of Mughal architecture in India.
This style of mausoleum was the same that created the Taj Mahal in Agra.
The tomb of Humayun was built by the orders of Hamida Banu Begum, Humayun's widow starting in 1562.
Restoration work by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) was completed in March 2003, enabling water to flow through the watercourses in the gardens once more. Funding for this work was a gift from the institutions of His Highness the Aga Khan to India.
