Construction of this beautiful monument was started by Akbar himself in 1602 A.D., but could not be completed as Akbar lived. Akbar died before his mausoleum could be completed and his son Jehangir completed it in 1613 A.D.
The actual tomb that lies in the basement of this grand mausoleum is a dignified tomb with minimal decorations for colorful paintings on the walls.The entire monument was constructed on the basis of the "pillar and beam" principle and was built in a manner that it rises tier by tier. The gateway of Akbar's Tomb is extremely beautiful and is situated on the south side. It is made of red sand stone.
