Stumble on to the left bank of the Yamuna river at Agra and you'll come across a small look alike Taj Mahal called I'timād-ud-Daulah:

I'timād-ud-Daulah is a mausoleum built from 1622 to 1628 A.D, located in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. This mausoleum is often described as 'jewel box' or 'Baby Tāj', commmisioned by Nūr Jahān, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirzā Ghiyās Beg. Nūr Jahān's father was the head treasurer of the empire or Itimad-ud-Daulah.

The mausoleum covers about twenty-three square meters, built on a base about fifty meters square and about one meter high. The mausoleum is set in a large crossed garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. On each corner are hexagonal towers, about thirteen meters tall.
