History

The Mughal Emperor Babar had defeated Rana Saya in a place called Sikri, which is 41 km from the present Agra. Akbar then built it for the purpose of establishing it as a headquarters, but due to the lack of water, the capital must be transferred to Agra Fort. Fatehpur Sikri, 37 kilometers from Agra, was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar. In addition to being a successful king, he was also a prodigy of art. In 1570-1585, Fatehpur Sikri was also the capital of the Mughal empire. This city was built by Akbar himself under his supervision. Akbar was a boy. When all the remedies for childbirth failed, he prayed with Sufi Saint Sheikh Saleem Chishti. After this, happy and excited for the son of the son, Akbar decided to make his capital here. But there was a lot of water here, so only 15 years later, the capital had to take Agra again.
