Unusual dome-less Mughal mausoleum built in red sandstone for a Hindu Rajput wife of Emperor Akbar.
This guide to the Tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani in Agra traces the Hindu Rajput princess given in marriage to Emperor Akbar in 1562, and the unusual freedom he granted her to keep her own faith at court. You'll hear how she gave birth to the future Emperor Jahangir in 1569, and how the title Mariam-uz-Zamani, Mary of the Age, puzzled historians for centuries despite having nothing to do with Christianity. Look for the eight corner pavilions replacing the dome you might expect on a Mughal tomb.
