Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb

Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb, often called the Baby Taj, is a beautiful white marble monument built by Nur Jahan for her father. It is known as the first Mughal monument made entirely of marble instead of red sandstone, which later inspired the design of the Taj Mahal.

The walls of the tomb have fine carvings of flowers, patterns, and colorful stones. Sunlight makes the artwork shine and enhances the delicate designs. The monument is surrounded by a peaceful Mughal garden with walkways and water channels.

The Baby Taj is not very crowded, so visitors can enjoy the beauty of the place quietly. It is a perfect example of early Mughal art and a great spot for photography
