Chini-ka-Rauza is a hidden gem in Agra, dedicated to Afzal Khan, a scholar and minister in the court of Shah Jahan. This funerary monument is famous for its exotic Persian influence and the stunning glazed tile work, or "chini," that once covered its entire exterior. As the first structure in India to feature extensive colorful tile ornamentation, it remains a significant site for history buffs interested in the evolution of Indo-Persian architectural design.
