The gallery is also called the whispering gallery, for obvious reasons. The gardens surrounding the monument are well maintained and are open till late. Also, there is an archeological museum within the grounds worth a look around. The entry fee to the monument is only fifty paise. When the crowds get in, it is difficult to enjoy the real splendor and acoustics of this monument.
People shout and scream, making it a thoroughly unpleasant experience.
This monument shows the creativity of its Iranian born architect. Built on a single slab of bed-rock, the architect has attained a perfect balance on the site, with the mausoleum on the left and the prayer hall to the right. The gardens are beautifully sculpted and are enclosed within an imposing wall and have some superb gateways. The architect's simple grave lies within the courtyard. He was buried there at his request, to be close to the Sultan.
