It was built by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jehan in the memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It was completed in 22 years with the orders of Shah Jahan and it was dedicated to Mumtaz Mahal (Arjumand Bano Begum), the wife of Shah. The monument appears as a poem in white marble. It took 22 years to get built by 20,000 skilled artisans who laid the white marble structure with precious and semi precious stones and it was built according to Islamic architecture.

Back to Hotel for the Breakfast.

After breakfast we will see Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra. Often described as a ”jewel box”, sometimes called the ”Baby Tāj”, the tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is often regarded as a draft of the Tāj Mahal. Along with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628 represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture – primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi and Akbar’s tomb in Sikandra – to its second phase, based on white marble and pietra dura inlay, most elegantly realized in the Tāj Mahal.

In the afternoon drive back to Delhi and on arrival we will drop you at your hotel or Delhi airport for your onward Journeys.
