About Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb

Located in Agra approximately 3 km from the city center and around 200 km from New Delhi, Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb stands as a delicate Mughal marvel. Often referred to as the "Baby Taj," this architectural gem was constructed between 1622 and 1628 by Nur Jahan for her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg. Its serene riverside location offers visitors an intimate glimpse into India’s rich historical tapestry.

The tomb features a welcoming Main Gate Atrium with its red sandstone base, exquisite Pietra Dura Walls adorned with inlaid stones, and the striking Octagonal Tomb Tower at its heart. The Riverside Veranda provides stunning views of the Yamuna River. Visitors can enjoy this Mughal jewel on their own or choose to have a guide (available for Nomad/Dynasty tiers) narrate its story as they stroll past these remarkable features.

For those seeking an enhanced experience, the Nomad tier includes transport within Agra and access to a self-guided riverfront path. The Dynasty package offers guided tours along with optional sessions on Mirza Ghiyas Beg’s legacy or additional walks through the area. This tomb's polished marble surfaces, intricate floral motifs, and gentle riverside breeze embody Mughal elegance.
