Panch Mahal at Fatehpur Sikri was originally connected to Jodh Bai's palace. A 5 floor pavilion. It was a wind tower to alleviate the heat and a popular mechanism of Persian architecture.

In Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned city in the desert, built by Akbar (= The Great), the Mughal emperor, take your time to enjoy the beauty of this set of different buildings.

Its an amazing place. Start from Agra to Jaipur and you will arrive here. Its a must visit for all. The palace is truly extraordinary and also attached with so many historic events. Better if you take a guide and he will do the rest. Its a must visit and please dont skip it.

This is a lovely complex of buildings built by one of the Moghul emperors. Wonderful carved buildings & definitely worth a stop.

I loved the indo-islamic architiecture - SO romantic.. The Archways...

A truly splendid Palace. It's easy to imagine Akbar romancing his wives here. I was struck by the innovative design and the fact that it was built so many centuries ago.

Baby Taj wasnt so crowded so it was a more pleasant experience to take at a slower pace. Just watch out for the shoe man, who tries to charge you to get your shoes back!! Dont be had, its only westerners they try this one with... at worse put your shoes in your bag, or if you visit after the...

Stopped here on the way to Jaipur from Agra. Very large and very well preserved complex. Coming from the Taj Mahal anything would be a bit of a let down but this place was still pretty impressive. The sheer size and scale of things in something that was built hundreds of years ago is always fascinating to me. Many cool...
