Question:

Which of the following monument is similar to Taj Mahal?

Options:

Babur's Tomb

Jahangir's Tomb

Akbar's Tomb

Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah

Correct Answer:

Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4-Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah

The monument that is most similar to the Taj Mahal is the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah.

The Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah is located in Agra, India, and it was built by Mughal Emperor Jahangir in memory of his father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who was also known as I'timād-ud-Daulah. The tomb was completed in 1628, and it is considered to be one of the earliest examples of Mughal white marble architecture.

The Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah is also known as the "Baby Taj" because of its resemblance to the Taj Mahal. Both tombs are made of white marble and are decorated with intricate carvings and semi-precious stones. They also have similar architectural features, such as four minarets and a central dome.

The other monuments mentioned, Babur's Tomb, Jahangir's Tomb, and Akbar's Tomb, are all beautiful examples of Mughal architecture, but they are not as similar to the Taj Mahal as the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah.
