Baby Taj or Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb
IItimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb or the Baby Taj, the dazzling tomb of Mizra Ghiyas Beg, ought not to be missed. This Persian aristocrat was Mumtaz Mahal’s grandfather and Emperor Jehangir’s wazir (chief minister). His daughter Nur Jahan, who wedded Jehangir, constructed the burial chamber somewhere in the range of 1622 and 1628 in a style like the burial place she worked for Jehangir, close to Lahore in Pakistan. It is viewed as the draft of the Taj Mahal.

11 Siriya or 11 Stairs
While visiting another prominent Garden Mehtab bagh, we found 11 stairs standing tall in an unstructured way. Just 11 stairs and nothing surrounding gives the place something different vibe. No strong history is found behind those 11 stairs, but they might have been represented as a sun clock to calculate the time according to the sun’s movement.

Mehtab Bagh (Sunset Point)
If you do not want to see Taj in the crowd, Mehtab Bagh should be your option then. You can see an amazing view of the Taj from across the river bank. This would be your view to always remember this kind of moment. This 25 acres Mughal Garden was built before the Taj by Babur and is situated directly opposite of Taj Mahal. Mehtab Bagh is also called Moonlight Garden. This place is also wrongly called the Black Taj Mahal, which Emperor Shahjahan wanted to make for himself.
