Mirza Faisal of Indian Muslims blog writes about his experience of visiting Humayun’s Tomb – renovated by Aga Khan Trust for Culture
The structure is supposed to be the first building in what is called the Mughal architecture. Around the imposing building are the huge gardens, called char-bagh, another typical aspect of the Mughal architecture. It was completed in around 1570 and that puts it at around 435 years of age! Yet it appears pretty intact, also thanks to the renovation work that has been recently completed. The gardens have been completely renovated with the aid of the Agha Khan Trust after thorough research into the way the gardens were laid out initially.
