Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (Itimad-ud-Daulah Maqbara), standing tall in this high resolution stock photo. A Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, often described as a “jewel box”, sometimes called the “Bachcha Taj” or the “Baby Taj”, the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is believed to be a draft of the Taj Mahal. The mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghivas Beg, who had been given the title of “Itimad-ud-Daulah” (pillar of the state). Mirza Ghivas Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtaz (originally named Arjumand Banu Begum, daughter of Asaf Khan), the wife of the emperor Shah Jahan.
