FATEHPUR SIKRI Fatehpur Sikri came into being four centuries ago when

Emperor Akbar, not yet 28 years old, set out to build thefirst planned city in Indo-lslamic architecture. By 1568, Akbar had secured his empire but his only grief was that

he had no son and heir. His search for blessings for thebirth of a successor brought him to the Sufi mystic SalimChishti, who lived, in Sikri village. The saint prophesiedthe birth of three sons and soon Prince Salim, who laterbecame Emperor Jehangir, was born. To express his

gratitude Akbar decided to build imperial residences inSikri, which would function as a joint capital with Agra.He also named the new city as Fatehpur Sikri.
