Fatehpur Sikri is a one-of-a-kind blend of architectural excellence and religious beliefs. It was built by Akbar to honour Sheikh Salim Chisti, who predicted the birth of a Mughal heir while Akbar was visiting Sikri at the time. In honour of the prophecy, Akbar constructed this city and the Jama Masjid, a magnificent mosque that is still in use today. He also built three palaces, one for each of his favourite wives, one for a Hindu, one for a Muslim, and one for a Christian. Fatehpur Sikri, an Indo-Islamic masterpiece, is most beautiful at sunset. Fatehpur Sikri is a town in the Agra district and a popular tourist attraction located 40 kilometres from Agra. Fatehpur Sikri, a city primarily made of red sandstone, was founded in 1571 by Mughal Emperor Akbar. It is a fortified city built by the king that served as the capital of his Empire for fifteen years. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many famous monuments such as Jodha Bai’s Palace, Jama Mosque, Buland Darwaza, and Tomb of Salim Chisti.
