Humayun’s tomb was built in the 16th century
Humayun’s tomb was built in Delhi between 1565-1572. It was built by Humayun’s wife, Haji Begum. This tomb is the first major example of Mughal architecture. Other monuments like the Taj Mahal were built taking inspiration from this. The mausoleum is constructed of red sandstone and white marble, which were high-quality materials of the time. These stones are durable and weather-resistant, which preserved the building for centuries. Mughal artisans built with strong foundations and balanced structure. The double-dome technique gave stability to the structure and helped protect it from natural disasters such as earthquakes. Conservation work carried out from time to time by the Archaeological Survey of India and other organizations has maintained its strength.
In recent years, large-scale renovation was carried out by the Aga Khan Trust in 2007-2013, further strengthening the structure. The mausoleum is still strong and in good condition today, although some parts have suffered damage due to environmental pollution and weather effects. In this accident, the mausoleum did not collapse, but the roof of a room inside the mausoleum campus collapsed.
