Without delaying any further, get ready to be seated in a time machine to the life of Mughals in the 1500’s. According to the descendants of some of the former royals to Akbar, Fatehpur was earlier known as Fatehabad which means victory in Persian. Keeping aside the fact that it was abandoned, Fatehpur Sikri is a telltale of the Mughal lifestyle. Fatehpur Sikri comes under Agra district, it was once a capital of the Mughal Emperor, Akbar until 1585 when it was abandoned due to extreme water scarcity. I learned this fact when I visited one of the India’s most historical city Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh. Many Indian cities have some or the other historical places worth visiting, these cities depict the rich heritage and culture we had in the past and the interesting stories associated with it. If you are in a country like India, you will feel nothing but lucky to be witnessing world’s richest culture and history.
