Bu Halima Gateway in Meerut

Nyc

The only operational gateway to enter Humayun tomb. Made of Red sandstone. Art gallery showing pictures and info on the tomb is also located inside this gateway

The view and architecture was something to see and specially the nature & environment there

Best place to visit in Delhi

Apart from being known for its stunning architecture, this is the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site declared in 1993, and has undergone widespread restoration work since then. The tomb was custom-built by Humayuns son Akbar during 1569-70, and is also the first structure to have made the use of red sandstone at a massive scale.

It is the entrance gate of garden tomb of Humayun. Really enjoyed the architecture.

Humayuns tomb (Hindustani or Urdu: Maqbara-i Humayunis the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayuns first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum), in 1558, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad,[8] Persian architects chosen by her.[9][10] It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent,[11] and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah Citadel, also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun found in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale.[12][13] The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993,[11] and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete.[14] Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suris court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.

The ancient Heritage.

View of the gate and View from the gate

It is A Meausium Which Gives Knowledge About Humayu Tomb

周りが工事中でした。チケット買うのに結構時間がかかった。

건물 복원/상태가 너무 아쉬웠던.... 외국인은 600INR

Bu Halima’s tomb garden, also dating from the 16th century, stands abutting Isa Khan’s Tomb at the entrance zone of theHumayun’s Tomb complex. In the 1920’s portions of the enclosure wall were demolished to make a circular roadway thusdestroying the character of the enclosure as well as disfiguring the historic character of the site with vast quantities ofcement concrete.

Had a great experience there.

A most beautiful well-landscaped rectangular enclosure and tomb as one enters Humayuns Tomb from the Mathura Road entranceThere is a lot of ambiguity about who Bu Halima was and why such a beautiful tomb and garden is constructed in her memoryBe as it may it is a beautiful piece of architecture, with well-manicured lawns and flowering plants and huge treesOne can see the remains of brightly coloured tiles many of which have been lost to time...

Worst experience

Entrance of humayuns tomb

not that great gateway. just ok

Great to see the past history though in dilapidated condition, but its still witnessing the past

Nothing is known of Bu Halima after whom the garden is namedand who apparently is buried on the ruined grave platform within,but it is undoubtedly an early Mughal tomb and the gateway tothe garden is a simple but beautiful one. Today it is also the mainentrance to Humayun’s Tomb, since in the nineteenth century thewestern wall of Bu Halima’s garden was breached to allow accessfor visitors. Today visitors usually go through Bu Halima’s gate inreverse, while entering the Tomb Complex. Bu Halima’s gate hasan imposing façade which is angled back on both sides and has arecessed arch in the centre. There are remains of some beautifuland intricate tilework in blue green and yellow.

entrance of humayun tomb, Two story gateway mad with red stone and white marble, Inside of gate there are many display. humayun complex replica and maps displaying here. old time stone and clay pots and toys you can see here,

Good place to visit

This is West Gate of Humayuns Tomb & not Bu Halima GatewayAfter the Arab Sarai Gateway there is another grand gate, the West gate through which we get the first glimpse of Humayuns Tomb.

Good

Best tourist place in Delhi

The exact identity of Bu Halima is a mystery as not many details on her are present.This name seems foreign amidst a long list of popular historical Mughal names. But then it is there, as an unusual tomb, a garden and a gate located on the western side of the beautifully well maintained Humayun’s Tomb Complex as a rectangular enclosure which is usually ignored by tourists and visitors as they pass by to see the more famous Humayun’s tomb.

Fine peice of mughal architecture

This monument is located inside Humayuns Tomb complex and is the first white building which is seen after entering the complex from the western paid entrance. Little facts are know about the lady Bu-Halima on whose name the gateway and the garden are built. Well maintained, clean and green. Recommended for visit in the same trip as Humayuns Tomb and Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliyas Dargah.

Its the main entrance to enter in Humayun tomb complex. Really unbelievable architect of mughal emperor👍👍👍
