Mariam-uz-Zamani's or Mariam's Tomb is known to be the mausoleum of Mariam-uz-Zamani, who is popularly known as Jodha bai, the favorite consort of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The tomb was built by her son Nuruddin Mohammad Salim (known as Jahangir), in her memory between 1623-1627 and is situated in Sikandra, next to Akbar's Tomb, towards the direction of Mathura. She is known to be the only wife of Akbar who was buried near to him.

Mariam-uz-Zamani was actually born as a Rajput princess and was called Harkha Bai, and she was the eldest daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amer. She was married to Mughal Emperor Akbar in the year 1562 CE and was honored with the prestigious title of Mariam-uz-Zamani ('Mary/Compassionate of the Age') after she gave birth to her 3rd son, Nuruddin Mohammad Salim (Jahangir) in 1569 CE. She died on 19 May 1623 in Agra and was buried quite near to her husband Akbar. There is no concrete evidence that states the reason for Jodha Bai's death but it is believed to be due of sickness. Her son Jahangir made a tomb for her between the year 1623 and 1627 CE. The tomb is situated 1 km away from Akbar's tomb, and is known to be the only nearest of all the tombs of his all other wives. She is better known as the first and last love of Mughal Emperor Akbar.

Alongside Empress Mariam-uz-Zamani, her grand daughter known as Bahar Banu Begum is also buried in the same mausoleum compound which tells that she might have been her favourite.

This tomb has been quite damaged by the addition of a lot of white plaster during the British rule which actually shadowed the tomb's former beauty. This mausoleum was known to be used as a printing press for an orphanage centre during the British rule and has suffered a lot of damage. Before the mutiny when the High Court used to be in Agra, the Government Press was located in this mausoleum and the Native Christian school as well as the Orphanage occupied some portion of the garden. Ever since the government press was transferred to Allahabad the whole mausoleum and garden was passed into the hands of the native government who put up a huge number of partitioned walls in the mausoleum and made factories there, which actually damaged the tomb. After India-Pakistan partition the tomb also housed Sindhi refugees and at that time it was degraded further.

Mariam-uz-Zamani made a large garden close to the tomb of Akbar in Sikandra which originally had an open baradari (pleasure pavilion) that was built during the rule of Sikander Lodi, in the year 1495 AD. After Mariam's death in May 1623, she was buried 1 km away from her husband's tomb and the baradari was converted into a mausoleum by Jahangir who made a large tomb over her grave and made a crypt below the central compartment and finally remodelling it drastically with a lot of additions of embellishments such as frescoes and floral carvings.

The mausoleum consists of three tombstones: one out of which is the underground mortuary chamber, which is actually the grave; the cenotaph is just above it; and there is one more cenotaph on the terrace. The ground floor has a total of forty chambers, which has faint traces of paintings on plastered walls. The center of the ground floor consists of the cenotaph of Empress Mariam-uz-Zamani.
