New Delhi - Humayun's Tomb

Ok, I'm gonna be honest here. We visited a lot of tombs, mosques and forts. And, if I confuse them, please refer to when K makes her own blog post on our India trip for the names of the places we actually went to.

*shrugs*

This is the first garden tomb (with the most popular being the Taj Mahal). All these tombs are actually just within a single family...

View towards the entrance. All tombs have north-south-east-west gates. They like symmetry.
