Akbar’s Tomb, Sikandra, #Agra, India 🇮🇳✨ The tomb of Akbar the Great was built in 1605–1613 by his son Jahangir and is situated in 119 acres of grounds in Sikandra, a sub of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Akbar himself commenced the construction of this tomb, according to Tartary tradition, which stated to commence the construction of one’s tomb during one’s lifetime. After Akbar's death, his son Jahangir planned and completed the construction of his father's tomb. It cost 1,500,000 rupees to build and took 3 or 4 years to complete. The south gate is the largest, with four white marble chhatri-topped minarets which are similar to (and pre-date) those of the Taj Mahal, and is the normal point of entry to the tomb. The buildings are constructed mainly from a deep red sandstone, enriched with features in white marble. Decorated inlaid panels of these materials and a black slate adorn the tomb and the main gatehouse. Panel designs are geometric, floral and calligraphic, and prefigure the more complex and subtle designs later incorporated in Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb Amazing clicks by @imagesbyshoaib #AkbarsTomb #AkbarTomb https://www.instagram.com/p/CdSPpatPYny/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TUMBA DE AKBAR en Sikandra AGRA La tumba de Akbar el Grande es una importante obra arquitectónica construida entre los años 1605 y 1613. Se encuentra en la zona de Sikandra, a las afueras de Agra, en la carretera de Mathura y a unos 8 kilómetros al noroeste del centro de la ciudad. Los edificios están construidos principalmente con piedra arenisca de color rojo oscuro enriquecida con elementos de mármol blanco. La tumba está adornada con paneles decorados con incrustaciones. Los diseños de los paneles son geométricos, florales y caligráficos, los cuales muestran pautas para diseños futuros más sutiles que más tarde se incorporaron por ejemplo en la tumba de Itmad-ud-Daulah. #Sikandra #AkbarTomb #AgraTour #IndiaTours (at Agra, Uttar Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEY0PNBptFk/?igshid=ueuab0n53e6g
