[ hoo-mah-yoon ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Not aware of her intentions, Badur sent her son to Chitore, on which she immediately put herself under the protection of Humayun.

He was succeeded by his son Humayun, who is chiefly known as being the father of Akbar.

Endowed with many brilliant and amiable qualities, Humayun was not made of the same stuff as either his father or his son.

Then, his hour striking, Humayun's happy retreat became Humayun's Tomb.

Humayun's cenotaph, in plain white marble, is in the very centre.
