Khan-i-Khana Tomb: Beautiful square tomb, built of red sandstone & grey Delhi quartzite
Khanzadah Mirza Khan Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana (1556-1626 AD) is one of the most famous poets of the Indian Subcontinent. He was under the service of the Mughal emperors Akbar (ruled AD 1556-1605) & Jahangir (ruled AD 1605-1628). He was Akbar’s step-son & also among his “Navratnas” (“Nine Jewels”), a group of powerful courtiers & prominent military Generals, each highly skilled at some past time such as poetry or singing.
After Bairam’s assassination, Akbar took Rahim under his care & married his step-mother, therefore Rahim became Akbar’s step-son. Rahim proved to be a brilliant scholar, soon mastering Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Turkish & Hindi. He also achieved excellence in the techniques of warfare & was accorded the position of a general in Akbar’s army. Akbar also had the titles of “Mirza” (“Gentleman”) & Khan-i-Khana (“Khan amongst Khans”) bestowed on him. Rahim wrote several major literary works, including several “dohas” (“couplets”) written in Hindi & Braj Bhasha (a local dialect of Hindi, most commonly used in parts of Uttar Pradesh), devotional songs dedicated to Krishna & books on astrology, besides translating Baburnama (“Babur’s memoirs”) from the original Chaghtai language to Persian.

Humayun's Tomb Conservation
In the latter years of the 20th century, the Humayun’s Tomb site suffered from a condition that had befallen many World Heritage Sites. Its gardens were worn, its masonry cracked, and the stonework broken or incomplete, the ruinous appearance resulting in few visitors to the site. The competition for resources made restoration of cultural sites an unpalatable position for many authorities. The challenge, therefore, was to find ways for cultural sites – many of great beauty and tourist interest – to sustain themselves. Aga Khan Trust for Culture, with co-funding of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and in partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India undertook the conservation of Humayun’s Tomb and associated structures during 2007-2013.
To restore the original designs of the Mughal builders of Humayun’s Tomb -- many of which had been compromised by 20th century works -- craftsmen were required to remove a million kilos of concrete from the roof and thousands of square metres of cement from the walls, ceilings and floors of all structures within the garden enclosure.
Craftsmen also had to restore stone joints in the dome with lime infill to make the dome watertight; reconstruct the collapsed arcade of the garden enclosure wall; restore the tile work to the roof canopies while reviving tile making skills in India; apply 21,000 square metres (225,000 square feet) of lime plaster, mainly to the inner surface of the double dome and to the 68 small mausoleums on the ground level; reset 5400 square metres (58000 square feet) of sandstone on the terrace following the original patterns and slopes; and lift the 3700 square metres (40,000 square feet) stone plinth, which was buried under 20th century cement, amongst other works. In addition to the emphasis on matching the standards of Mughal-era craftsmanship, the project took a craft-based approach to conservation that offers a model for reviving these fast-disappearing skills while simultaneously creating employment.

Tomb of Atgah Khan: One of the most beautiful creations by the Mughal architects
Shamshuddin Atgah Khan was made a general in Humayun’s army, a position he retained when Akbar ascended the throne of India. Adham Khan murdered Atgah Khan when the latter was investigating some of the corruption charges against the former. A magnificent mausoleum was commissioned within the complex of the Dargah of Sheikh Nizamuddin for Atgah Khan by his son Mirza Kokaltash on the orders of the Emperor who was aggrieved by the heinous murder of his most trusted lieutenant & minister.
The strikingly symmetrical medium-sized square tomb is built of red sandstone and ornamented with decorated slabs of white marble. It is splendidly ornamented with medallions, pietra dura work & calligraphy. It is surmounted by a high dome the marble that covers the tomb’s exteriors is inlaid with red & blue-hued stone, painstakingly chiselled in several patterns.
The inlay work is more profuse near the base of the tomb, one of the niches has an entrance built into it with a wooden door that has been locked perennially by the Archaeological Survey of India (A.S.I); the rest of the niches are marked with intricately designed latticework (“jali”).
