A tour of the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah
A tour of the Little Taj Mahal
In Agra you will find not only the Red Fort and the most famous monument of India – the Taj Mahal, but also a number of other tombs. One of the most beautiful of them is the so-called Little Taj – Itimad-ud-Daulah, built during the Mughal era in the 17th century
Entrance gate to the complex
Unlike the Taj Mahal, the Itimad-ud-Daulah Mausoleum is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River and much further north. The best way to get here is with tuk tuk. The entrance gate itself is quite nice
