Humayun’s tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun’s first wife Bega Begum in 1569-70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a Persian architect chosen by Bega Begum. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin railway station. It was the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete.<\/p>\n

It was a Sunday morning and as I was getting ready to go the gym, an Idea suddenly hit me. Why not skip the gym today and go out for some photography? I have lived in and around Delhi for most of my life but surprisingly, visiting any of the historical or tourist places within the city never quite sounded like something I should do. For me photography and trips meant getting out of Delhi. Even though I had been planning with a friend of mine for a day long photo walk to various tourist places in the city, it never quite happened. Always for one reason or another, our plan kept getting cancelled. So on that Sunday morning, I finally decided to do it. The watch showed 5.30 in the morning which meant that I cannot of course call someone to accompany me and would have to go out alone. I quickly switched on my computer and after Googling for a while, decided to visit Humayun\u2019s tomb and get some sunrise shots.<\/p>\n
