The entrance gate of Humayun's tomb in Delhi, one of the prime tourist attractions of the city. The entrance gate is typically chained, and due to increased security, visitors are allowed to go in through smaller gates to the side of this gate as can be seen in the photo, after they pass through metal detectors. Just next to the gate is the ticket counter where entry tickets can be bought. If you look through the gates, the photo shows off a barricaded area where restoration was taking place earlier as well as a structure with a dome in the background. Humayun Tomb is a magnificent red sandstone structure, located in the heart of Delhi. It is the tomb of the second great Mughal emperor, Humayun and was commissioned by his wife, Hamida Banu Begum in 1562 AD. It is a garden tomb, with the central structure of the tomb located in the middle of large gardens.
The tomb is located very close to the Purana Qila, the fort used by the Mughals as their citadel. The tomb has gone through large scale renovation in collaboration with the Aga Khan trust and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage monument.
The tomb, in addition to housing the tomb of the emperor, also houses the graves of his wife Hamida Begum and many others as well (including many later not so famous emperors of the Mughal dynasty) and the famous Dara Shikoh.
