"It's not a just building structure of Tomb..but also a multiple structure historical monument.. great Mughal architecture of red stone.. specious corridors.. green lash sorroundings with gardens but some structure are gradually detoriating due to improper repairing work..so many parts of the premises look like ruins , except the Marble made beautiful Tomb.
Cooperative staff taking care of visitors.. but lack of security.
In nearby areas no canteen or stall so take some edible food alongwith, specially if children are with you."
