Which city in Uttar Pradesh is known for the "Itimad-ud-Daula's Tomb"?

The city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh is known for the famous Itimad-ud-Daula’s Tomb. Often called the “Baby Taj”, this monument was built by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg.

Itimad-ud-Daula’s Tomb is significant because it was the first Mughal structure made entirely of white marble, decorated with delicate inlay work that later inspired the design of the Taj Mahal. The monument reflects a shift in Mughal architecture from red sandstone to marble, making Agra a hub of cultural and architectural heritage.

So, Agra is not only home to the Taj Mahal but also this elegant masterpiece that marks the beginning of a new era in Mughal art.
