Is Photography Allowed at Humayun's Tomb?

Yes, photography for personal use is allowed throughout the complex, and the site is a favorite among amateur and professional photographers alike. However, tripods, drones, and commercial equipment are not permitted without prior approval from the Archaeological Survey of India. Photography inside tomb chambers may be limited in low light, and the use of flash is discouraged.
