Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, Agra

Empress Nur Jehan built this tomb, sometimes called the Baby Taj, for her father, Ghias-ud-Din Beg, the Chief Minister of Emperor Jahangir, who was given the title of Itmad-Ud-Daulah, meaning 'Pillar of the State'. Small in comparison to many other Mughal-era tombs, it is sometimes described as a jewel box. Its garden layout and use of white marble, pietra dura, inlay designs and latticework presage many elements of the Taj Mahal.
