Fatehpur Sikri Travel

With us take a travel to one of the fascinating cities of India – Fatehpur Sikri. This heritage site of Fatehpur Sikri is located 40 kilometers from Agra India.

Our Fatehpur Sikri Travel will take you to this magnificent city with its amazing monuments of red sandstone and marble, built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great, on tours to Agra with Agra Hub.

According to Indian legend, the Emperor Akbar, though he had many wives, did not have an heir. He went on a pilgrimage to Sheikh Salim Chisti, a Sufi saint who lived near Agra and sought his blessings. Akbar was blessed with an heir, who he named Salim, after the saint, in gratitude. (Salim later inherited the throne as the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.) The beautiful monuments at Fatehpur Sikri are a synthesis of Islamic and Hindu architecture reflecting the religious tolerance of Akbar. Akbar also founded a syncretic religion called Din-i-Illahi, which inspired some of the buildings that you will find at your Fatehpur Sikri Tour.

With our Fatehpur Sikri Travel you are sure to enjoy a spell bound experience. Some of the grand structures at Fatehpur Sikri include the Panch Mahal, the Buland Darwaza, the tomb of Salim Chisti, the Jama Masjid Mosque and the life-size chessboard where courtiers could play the role of pieces. The architectural beauties of the monument of Fatehpur Sikri have led to its being declared a World Heritage Site. A travel to Fatehpur Sikri would narrate to you the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India.

The main attractions that you must not miss in your Fatehpur Sikri Travel are:

Diwan-i-Am: The Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience) is where the monarch sat and lent a patient ear to all the petitions he received.

Diwan-i-Khas: The Diwan-i-Khas nearby housed the ‘House of Worship’ where the emperor debated various systems with noted theologians.

Ankh Michauli: As you enter the Ankh Michauli (Closed Eyes) pavilion, you realize that Akbar could be as flippant as he was profound. Here the Mughal played ‘blind man’s buff’ and indulged in frivolous pranks in the company of his harem.

Jodhabai’s Palace: Jodhabai’s Palace is befittingly the grandest of all palaces that you will se in your Fatehpur Sikri Travel – as she was his most favoured wife and the mother of the crown prince. Other notable palaces at Fatehpur Sikri Tour that are must visit are the five-storeyed Panch Mahal and the Hawa Mahal.
