The Royal city of Fatehpuri Sikri, India

in #fatehpuri6 years ago

The royal city of Fatehpur Sikri was once the capital of the Mughal era during Akbar’s reign. This royal city is one of the historical tourist places in India and once had palaces, public buildings, mosques, quarters for the king, the army as well as the servants. Further, the well planned royal city with carved columns and decorated pillars was built between 1571-1573 AD and abandoned due to a shortage of water.
Interesting fact: Many barren women would come to the tomb of the Sufi saint Salim Chisti to pray for children.fatehpur-sikri2.jpg
