An outstanding memorial to Akbar's arrogance!

I would highly recommend a visit to Fatepur Sikri, but please be aware that it is a tourist trap of the highest order. There are touts and marble salesmen everywhere.

Still, this cannot detract from the majesty of Akbar's Grand Mosque. The gateway is simple jaw-dropping.

Unfortunately the site is need of some loving care and attention from Archeological Survey of India - many parts are in a tragic state of repair.
