Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's Tomb is one of the best-preserved and most beautiful
examples of Mogul architecture in Delhi, and is often seen as a
forerunner of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Building started on the tomb
in 1564 after the death of Humayun, the second Moghul emperor - and
its construction it was overseen by Haji Begum, his senior widow
and the mother of Akbar. The tomb is an octagonal structure capped
by a double dome that soars 125ft (38m) into the sky, and is set in
a formal Persian garden. In the grounds are some other monuments,
including the Tomb of Isa Khan.

banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
