★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Humayun's tomb (Hindustani or Urdu: Maqbara-i Humayun) is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's 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 Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Afsarwala Tomb or 'Officer's Tomb' is situated on the south-western end of the Humayun Tomb Complex. Afsarwala which means 'Officer' was a nobleman in the Courts of Emperor Akbar. The grave is dressed with marble and probably dated to 1566 AD or 1567 AD.
The Afsarwala Mosque might also date back to the 16th Century as per its architecture and positioning that lies adjacent to the Afsarwala Tomb symbolising that it was probably constructed as a Funerary Mosque. This Mosque was built in the shape of a square structure that stands on a flat base raised above ground level. It depicts three broad arches on its main facade that gives it the name of 'Trimukhi' Masjid. These arches are made of rubble overlaid with plasterwork. Its interiors are ornate with stuccowork that reveals incised emblems mostly painted. It is surmounted by one dome covered in red paint that stands on an octagonal shaped drum.
