Itimad-ud-daula's Tomb

Nicknamed the Baby Taj, the exquisite tomb of Mizra Ghiyas Beg was the precursor to the Taj Mahal. Built between 1622 and 1628, it is located along the banks of the Yamuna and was built by the Mughal queen Noor Jahan, wife of Emperor Jehangir, to commemorate her parents. It is an architectural marvel located at the heart of the well known and scenic Persian Garden. The tomb has been elegantly designed and finished in the most beautiful architectural style laid in yellow marble with black and white marble inlay. A similar tomb was later built by Noor Jahan for her husband near Lahore in Pakistan.
