Fatehpur Sikri History Akbar visited the village of Sikri to consult the Sufi saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, who predicted the birth of an heir to the Mughal throne. When the prophecy came true, Akbar built his new capital here, including a stunning mosque – still in use today – and three palaces for each of his favourite wives, one a Hindu, one a Muslim and one a Christian. The city was an Indo-Islamic masterpiece, but erected in an area that suffered from water shortages and so was abandoned shortly after Akbar’s death. After the city was abandoned, many of its treasures were plundered. It owes its present state of preservation to the initial efforts of the viceroy, Lord Curzon, a legendary conservationist. R...

There were times when the Mughal emperor Akbar entertained the common masses, while others were reserved for the royals. The Diwan-i-Khas, or the Hall of Private Audience, was built for such occasions. During your trip to Fatehpur Sikri, you will find his majestic structure located in the north corner of the Pachisi courtyard. It is marked by a carved pillar in the center. Akbar, by way of his secular outlook, was a man far ahead of this time. He was interested in knowing about other religions than Islam, and invited scholars belonging to different faiths to hold religious discussions. This is the place where he would do that. Upon visiting it, you are certainly intrigued by its wonderful architecture, which is most popular for its four chhatris (umbrella like structures) and intricately carved central pillar. It is commonly believed that the scholars, who would debate with Akbar, would stand at the ends of the four "bridges" which were connected by the center. If all this sounds quite interesting, wait till you actually come across this marvellous structure during your tour to Fatehpur Sikri from Agra. Architecture The Diwan-i-Khas, or the Hall of Private Audience, was built largely in the Persian style of architecture. A carved central column dominates the interiors, while the four pillars, which open themselves at the top, are adorned with exquisite sculptures and precious stones. One of these pillars is attached to the central platform, which is where the emperor would...
