Near Delhi: Tomb of the Emperor Humayon, where the Two Sons and Grandson of the King of Delhi were Concealed, 1857. 'The tomb...is thus described by Thornton: '...south of Delhi is the tomb of Humayon, the Emperor, who, after being driven from his kingdom, succeeded in reestablishing the Mogul dynasty on the throne of Delhi. It stands in the middle of a platform...ascended by four great flights of stone steps...The mausoleum...is a noble building, of a square form, constructed of red stone, inlaid with marble, and surmounted by a large dome of the latter material, the style of architecture approaching to that usually termed Saracenic. In the interior is a large circular apartment, in the middle of which is a small white marble sarcophagus, containing the remains of Humayon; and around are smaller apartments, in which are entombed his relatives and more favoured retainers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
