We visited Humayun's Tomb today. His widow built this in his honor. The Taj Mahal is patterned after it and is even more elaborate, especially inside.
We arrived at the same time as a group of students. They are very friendly.
There is so much geometry here. See if you can find it. Above, the arches are designed so that you can see the arch of the next building and even see through the window.
Do you see the symmetry of this building and the geometric designs?
There are four streams with four grass areas. They represent water, milk, honey and wine.
There is a dome inside a dome that gives an echo when you talk under it (inside).
I find it amazing that the building where the deceased now resides is probably more elegant and elaborate than his home.
