View of the Tomb of Akbar from outside the perimeter wall. The multi-tiered mausoleum is constructed of rows of ornate arches and chattris, or decorative domed pavilions. Each facade features a large, decorated gateway. Two men dressed in traditional garments stand among the dense brush that surrounds the tomb.
