Humayun's tomb (Hindi: हुमायूँ का मकबरा) is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun (Persian: همایون) in Delhi (नई दिल्ली), India. The tomb was built in 1570, it created a precedent for future Mughal architecture of royal mausolea, which reached its zenith with the Taj Mahal (ताज महल).
The tomb, built of rubble masonry and red sandstone, uses white marble as a cladding material and also for the flooring, lattice screens , door frames, eaves and for the main dome.
Humayun (6 March 1508 – 27 January 1556) was the second emperor of the Mughal Empire, who ruled over territory in what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India, and Bangladesh from 1530 to 1540 and again from 1555 to 1556.
Humayun's tomb was built by the orders of his first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (बेगा बेगम). The construction of the tomb began in 1565 and was completed in 1572.
Humayun lost Mughal territories to Sher Shah Suri, the king of an Afghan dynasty, but regained them 15 years later with the aid of Persia.
The tomb was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent and also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale.
