India / Agra / Other Attractions / The Tomb of Itemad-ud-Daula

It stands in the center of Persian garden, an architectural jewel, elegantly designed an exquisitely finished. Noorjehan, the brilliant queen of Jehangir, built it for her parents. A precursor of the Taj, this small garden tomb reflects the taste and sophistication of the gifted queen. The warm yellow marble highlighted with white and black marble inlay, and the lacey pierced marble screens and rich, jewel-inlaid mosaics have a delicate, feminine quality that is pure enchantment.
