Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah
Itimad-ud-Daulah, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," is a Mughal mausoleum located in Agra, India. Commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, it was built between 1622 and 1628 in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who held the title Itimad-ud-Daulah, meaning "Pillar of the State." The tomb marks a significant shift in Mughal architecture, transitioning from the red sandstone structures of earlier periods to the more refined use of white marble with delicate inlay work. Often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, the tomb is noted for its intricate lattice screens, pietra dura decoration, and symmetrical design. Set in a charbagh-style garden along the Yamuna River, Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb reflects Persian influences and represents a blend of architectural elegance and historical significance.
