Description

This tomb nestled on the bank of the river Yamuna was built by Queen Noor Jahan. It was constructed using yellow, black and white marble inlay, and was hence called the Baby Taj.


A masterpiece of design and construction, this tomb was built under the commission of Empress Noor Jahan in memory of her father Mirza Ghias Beg in 1623-28 A.D. This ornate tomb is considered a precursor of Taj Mahal. It is built completely in white marble and reflects a dazzling charm to the visitors.
