The tomb of the second Mughal Emperor

Today’s post is yet another rendition of Humayun’s tomb… I’ve presented it in the past both from the inside, and from the outside, from the top, and from the ground level.

This perspective is a little away to the right from the main entrance, in an area that was under restoration in January 2011. There has been a fair bit of restoration work to a lot of India’s historical monuments off late, with a new found sense of pride and nationalism as the nation rises from its colonial past into a brave new world. On the 26th of January (tomorrow), they will celebrate their 62nd anniversary of becoming a Republic.
