The exquisite tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah
on the left bank of the Yamunna River was built by Noor Jahan
in memory of her father. This small but elegant structure is built
entirely in white marble, a feature that appeared for the first time
and was an inspiration for the Taj Mahal. The piedra dura or stone
inlay work here is of the highest quality, especially in the blend
of the colors of the semi-precious stones. |
