On 9th October 2009, I went to visit Agra with my parents. There we saw the Fatehpur Sikri. It was truly a place of great historic importance. Emperor Akbar had made it specially for his beloved son Emperor Jahangir. The Fatehpur Sikri was truly amazing. We saw the administrative as well as the religious centre. The three beautiful houses of Emperor Akbar’s three wives – Jodhaa Bai, Ruqaiyya Begum and Maryam, who were followers of Hinduism, Islam and Chrisianity respectively, caught our glance. We saw the Deewan-i –Am and Diwan-i-Khass. The Emperor’s summer and winter houses were spectacular. The Darga of Salim Chisti, along with the 174 feet high Buland Darwaza, took us back to those old days. The symbols of the religion, Din-e-Lahi , founded by Emperor Akbar, finally added to the glory of Fatehpur Sikri.
