Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb

Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb

Itmad-ud-Daulah — known as the "Baby Taj" — is a stunning Mughal tomb on the Yamuna bank in Agra, built between 1622 and 1628 by Empress Nur Jahan for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg. The first Mughal monument built entirely in white marble with exquisite pietra dura inlay work, it directly inspired the Taj Mahal. Less crowded than the Taj, it offers superb marble craftsmanship in an intimate riverside garden setting. A top Agra sightseeing attraction for architecture enthusiasts.
