Best Time to Visit : October to March
Seat of Tan Sen, Fatehpur SikriLying close to the monumental city of Agra, Fatehpur Sikri was once the political capital of the great Mughal Empire under the leadership of Emperor Akbar. Fatehpur Sikri was developed single handedly by the monarch. It remained as the capital city for a brief period, form 1571 till1585 when finally it had to be abandoned due to shortage of water.
This deserted city of the Mughals still houses some great monumental edifices, that talk great of the artistic flavour of the Mughals. The city exemplifies the Mughal architecture at its best and even though in ruins, the city offers a great time to the visitors praising the ancient marvellous creations. The evening sun rays that fall on the ruins is a sight to behold. The city embodies the Hindu and the Muslim architecture in total amalgamation with each other and the magnificent mosque therein can be said to be a copy of the Mosque in Mecca.
If history is to believed then Akbar who was childless despite all efforts went for the blessings of saint Sheikh Salim in Fatehpur. The great Saint blessed the King and said his queen will bear fruit within three years and truly so queen Jodhabai gave birth to a son. Akbar in great pleasure and in love for the place where he met the famous godly saint built his capital in the city and changed its architecture in to something hard to believe. The large monuments speak volumes of the splendid architecture of the the Mughal era.
