Itimad-ud-Daula, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
Itimad-ud-Daula (Pillar of the State) is the title that Jahangir gave to this Chief Minister and father-in-law, Mirza Gyas Beg. This marble mausoleum, also called Itimad-ud-Daula, was built for Gyas Beg by his daughter Noor Jahan. This is the first mausoleum to be entirely built of marble and the first on the banks on Yamuna. This is nicknamed as Baby Taj and was one of the inspirations for Shah Jahan to build his more famous marble building on the other side of Yamuna.
