NEW DELHI:
Saturday marked the third heritage walk in a series that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is conducting. Sanjeev Kumar Singh, an executive engineer with the MCD heritage cell, kicked off the day's history lessons at 9am with a discussion on Humayun's Tomb, built in 1565-72 AD, which houses more than 150 graves in 60 chambers.
According to the Archaeological Survey of India, Humayun's grieving widow Hamida Banu Begum had built the mausoleum. The tomb itself is made mostly of quartzite stone—locally procured from Delhi in that era.
Singh pointed to the mosaic of architectural styles, evident in the tomb's entrance, and said, "The jharokhe (windows) are in Rajput style, while the projections of the entrance which make a kind of 'U' shape are inspired from Iranian architecture."
