Fatehpur sikri (FPS) - Victory city

Elephant Gate of Fatehpur sikri, Agra This citadel of India has so many stories. Some are funny and some are really stupid. I did a deep study of this mysteries monument of India and found interesting facts about it. Hiran Minar How come it is possible that a large citadel was built over here when the architects knew that there was lack of water ? Why did Akbar choose this place to make a citadel ? Why did he leave this place ? How did this palace was built and which architecture was used ? Victory gate of Fatehpur sikri Ancestors of Akbar   A ncestors of Akbar  were Mughals who were mercenaries of central Asia. They were not proficient in making large palaces like such, they used to live in walled garden under tents of clothes. Their kingdoms were small and economy was based on plundering to neighbor villages, states and kingdoms. Akbar's grandfather Babur was the first Mughal invader. He stayed in India for only Four years and passed away.
