Does this look vaguely familiar? No, it's not the Taj Mahal. Humayun's Tomb predates the Taj significantly, and the Taj was modeled after it. Indian architecture does not mind copy-catting itself. In general, I was underwhelmed. The exterior is spectacular, but the inside is very plain, and fairly run-down.
This is my GQ picture. Totally posed, but hey - probably the best picture ever taken of me.
This is the inside of Humayun's Tomb. There's a great risen ceiling, but again, fairly plain. It's hard to tell from this picture, but it's extremely dark in the room with the actual tomb. On a busy day of seeing things in Delhi, this wasn't the highlight for me. My feelings about Humayun's Tomb make me worried about my inevitable trip to the Taj Mahal - I've heard that it's quite a let-down.
