Situated in Agra ; Taj... A
masterpiece in itself leaves us speechless in describing its beauty.
It's a paradise on earth . A jewel everyone would love to
have in their houses. A fine piece of art.
Fatehpur Sikri
Fatephur Sikri,
known as the "deserted city",
is situated 40 km west of Agra. Between 1570
and 1585, during the rein of Emperor Akbar, Fatephur Sikri was the
capital of the Mughal Empire.
The tomb of Shaikh Salim Chishti,
built in 1570, is white marble with probably
the finest examples of carved marble lattice screens in the country.
Fatephur Sikri's mosque is
said to be a replica of the mosque at Mecca.
It's a beautiful building with elements of
Persian and Hindu design. The main entrance is through the 54 meter
high Buland Darwaza (the Gate
of Victory).
