Fatehpur Sikri, a city that has witnessed several tales of triumph and downfall, provides a glimpse into the history and legacy of the Mughal empire. Up until 1585, it was the thriving capital of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. However, due to water shortages and the city's proximity to the Rajputana neighborhood, the city was abandoned. The city was the first planned city built by the Mughals and was designed using Mughal architecture, which combined elements of Islamic, Persian, and Indian architecture. Fatehpur Sikri is an ideal location for history enthusiasts, photographers, and explorers.
