Humayun's Tomb


Humayun was a Mughul emperor whose wife built him an amazing garden and an enormous building to house his remains.  She must have liked him.  We were sufficiently impressed by the time we got to the gateway to the tomb. 


The building itself is spectacular. 


But even after just a few hours in Delhi the most exciting part of the monument was the expanse of silent, empty greenery.


Humayun isn't the only chap buried here -- his royal barber also gets a pretty spectacular monument!
