Fatehpur Sikri, was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar between 1569- 1585, when he shifted his capital from Agra. But after a few years, the water supply was incapable of sustaining the population and the capital was shifted back to Agra. Now it is a deserted city and also called a ghost city but it is perfectly preserved. Akbar was a very tolerant ruler and the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri blended both Islamic and Hindu architecture. One of the buildings even reflects the new religion or faith founded by Akbar’- “Din-e-ilahi”, which was very short-lived. He abolished much hated poll- tax on non- muslims (Jizya) and was the first Mughal ruler to marry a Hindu (Rajut princess from Jaipur). It is a beautiful palace complex with Hindu and Muslim artistic buildings. You can visit Birbal’s Palace (Hindu building), Jodhbai’s Palace (Hindu building), Jami Masjid, Tomb of Sheikh Salim Chishti and Buland Darwaza etc. Buland Darwaza is also called “Gate of Magnificence’.

Mahtab Bagh was built between 1631- 1635 and situated on the sandy bank of river Yamuna just opposite the beautiful Taj Mahal. Mahtab Bagh is an ideal spot to take picturesque view of Taj Mahal. Mehtab Bagh means 'Moon Light Garden', as it gives a perfect view of Taj Mahal and the stunning reflection of Taj Mahal can be seen here in the pool at night. It is said that the great emperor Shah Jahan who built the famous Taj Mahal for his beloved queen also wanted an identical one for himself as well across river Yamuna at Mehtab Bagh but unfortunately he could not do it.
