À propos de l'événement
About The Event:
Explore the enchanting narrative of Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has borne witness to the grand tapestry of history. Beyond its architectural magnificence, this site unfolds the gripping saga of empires. In 1857, during this fateful week, it became a pivotal stage for the Last Mughal, Bahadur Shah Zafar, a turning point etched in history.
Considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, this monument was born out of love, a testament to the devotion of a queen, dedicated to her husband, Humayun. Delve into a 400-year journey encompassing Humayun's era, Sher Shah's reign, and the enigmatic burial of Dara Shukoh after his tragic assassination orchestrated by Aurangzeb.
