Humayun’s tomb was the first Mughal garden tomb in the country and Safdarjung’s was the last. The history surrounding its construction is one of dying glory when Nadir Shah looted the city and the Mughal Empire’s might and power had dwindled to almost nothing. Many consider its design to be symbolic of the over extravagance and degeneracy that had become a part of the later Mughal era. The tomb consists of a longish dome and gaudy plasterwork interiors.
