Built by Nur Jahan, in memory of her father Ghias-ud-Din Beg, who was conferred the title 'Itimad-ud-Daulah' meaning 'Pillar of the Government'. It is the first tomb to be built in white marble instead of red sandstone. It marks the departure from the red sandstone buildings of Mughal architecture.
