1 thought on “What is the structural difference between Humayun’s Tomb and Writers’ Building? Explain it in details. No span pls. ”
Answer:
The first difference lies in the façade. The Taj Mahal has Quranic inscriptions. These inscriptions convey the message of judgement and salvation.
The second difference is the colour scheme. The Humayun’s Tomb uses white marble exclusively only to highlight the key features. However, the Taj Mahal is entirely made up of white marble.
The Humayun’s Tomb has an undulating facade with octagonal wings projecting forward flanking the entrance. The Taj Mahal does not have these projections.
Then there is the dome. The Taj Mahal has an elevated dome and is significantly more bulbous than the dome in Humayun’s Tomb.
The layout of Humayun’s Tomb is in such a way that it encourages the visitors to move outward from the centre. The Taj Mahal’s layout prompts the visitors to circle around the central tomb.
The Taj Mahal is a significantly more balanced structure in terms of its floor plans. It is built in a perfect cube with a ratio of 1:1 between plan and elevation. While the Humayun’s Tomb has 2:1
I recently visited Humayun’s tomb in Delhi and to my mind it was almost equal or superior to the Taj Mahal considering its antiquity and sets of royal family tombs included. Why is it not a sought after place like the Taj
