Type of destination: Historical Monument

Ideal visit duration: 1 hour

Closed in: Every Friday

Mariam's Tomb is an historical structure situated in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, renowned for its exceptional architectural beauty. Erected in the memory of Mariam-uz-Zamani, the wife of Emperor Akbar and the mother of Emperor Jahangir, the tomb is a poignant reminder of Mughal history. Made of red sandstone, the tomb stands in stark contrast to the lush green gardens that surround it, often referred to as the 'Barah Khamba'. Mariam's Tomb predates the Taj Mahal and is believed to be built by Jahangir in memory of his mother. The blend of Mughal and Hindu architectural elements reflects the syncretic culture of the time. It is less crowded than other monuments in Agra, offering a peaceful retreat and a profound historical experience.
