  Humayun's Tomb

  Humayun's tomb was commissioned by his first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum). Construction began in 1565 and was completed in 1572. It cost 1.5 million rupees, paid for entirely by the Empress. Bega Begum was so heartbroken by her husband's death that she dedicated her life to a single purpose: the construction of a memorial for him on a site near the Yamuna River in Delhi, which would be the most magnificent mausoleum in the empire. According to the Ain-i-Akbari, a detailed 16th-century document written during Akbar's reign, Bega Begum supervised the construction of the tomb after returning from Mecca and performing the Hajj pilgrimage.

  Qutub Minar

  The Qutub Minar was commissioned by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, around 1192, along with the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque. The mosque complex is one of the earliest surviving mosques in the Indian subcontinent. The minar is named after Qutb-ud-din Aibak, or Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, a Sufi saint. Its ground floor was built on the ruins of the Lal Kot fortress of Dillika. Aibak's successor, Iltutmish, added three more stories. The minar's top floor was damaged by lightning in 1369 and was rebuilt by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, who added another story. In 1505, an earthquake damaged the Qutub Minar. Major Robert Smith of the British Indian Army renovated the tower in 1828 and installed a pillared dome over the fifth story, thus creating a sixth. The dome was removed in 1848 on the instructions of Viscount Hardinge, then Governor-General of India.
