Bara Batasha Mahal

It is a ruined structure with two of the eight walls of the octagonal structure surviving.

It is a square structure standing on a high plinth. It is topped with a huge dome. Sadly nothing is known about the origin of the structure and the mortal remains of the persons who are buried underneath it.

The structure dates back to the 16th century and was built during the Mughal period. It is an irregular octagonal structure with four main sides containing five arches each. The oblong sides consist of a single arch.

is one of Delhi's three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. - The tomb is in large, immaculately maintained gardens in the Persian Char Bagh (four corners) style that were thoroughly renovated in 2003 with the Aga Khan's help and are probably the best in Delhi. As you pass through the first gate, you will glimpse the dome of the tomb and enter a floral path leading to the second (West) gate, which now acts as the entrance to the giant central garden. - The centrepiece is the eponymous tomb of Humayun, the second Mughal emperor. Built starting in 1562, it was the first major Mughal structure in the city and has been described as a predecessor or prototype of the Taj Mahal. The structures are, indeed, stylistically similar, although Humayun's Tomb is built from red sandstone, not white marble, and was built by a wife grieving for her husband, not the other way around. You can climb up to the second level (the stairs on the west side are very steep, those on the south side less so), and on the south side you will find the entrance into the main crypt where Humayun is buried. Before you leave, be sure to visit the South Gate, the original royal entrance, from where you can get picture-postcard views without too many tourists in the way.

Built of rubble masonry and devoid of plaster the ruined structures consist of three arches. The central arch is bigger than the two flanking it. The structure behind the arches is all in ruins.
