Ancient Architecture
As the new day kicks in, i wake up in the morning and followed my routine.
I was thinking to visit a place where i can see ancient architecture.
So i planned to visit Humayun's Tomb.
It took only 25 mins to reach there.
Location
Entry is not free. The fare is Rs 40
And as i walked in i saw many tourists there from different places in India as well as from abroad. I was just shocked to see the architectural design because it was in perfect symmetry . At that time there are no tools for making a perfect symmetrical structure as compared to today but the ancient architects of those times are perfect in there work.
Firstly, i see a small garden tomb named as Isa Khan's Garden tomb at the right hand of the entry gate.
Isa Khan's Garden Tomb pre-dates Humayun's Tomb by two decades and is the culmination of an architectural style used for royal tombs in Delhi during the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties from the early 15th to the early 16th centuries. It is the only surviving octagonal enclosed tomb complex with walls, mosque, and gateway intact.
Conservation works at the site commenced in January 2011 following extensive documentation, including 3D high-definition surveying, condition assessment, archival research and a peer review of the conservation plan. An enormous amount of work was required to remove some 325,000 cubic feet of earth from the site in order to restore the landscape to its original level while being careful not to destroy any archaeology. Conservation and Landscape works are carried out with due care of authenticity of material and building tradition and have restored the integrity of the Humayun's Tomb World Heritage Site.
