Color photograph of the trunk and roots of an old fig tree growing around a stone path in the garden of Humayun’s tomb, Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, 2009. This popular tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage Site is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun which was commissioned by Humayun’s son Akbar in 1569-70. Designed by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent and the first structure to use red sandstone at such a large scale.
