Enjoy some black & white postcards (1960’s) from my collection of Fatehpur Sikri “The City Of Victory.”
Fatehpur Sikri has many structures built in red sand stone, and is enclosed by a 11 kms long fortification wall with numerous gateways.
Fatehpur Sikri is a town in the Agra district of Uttar pradesh, India
The city was founded as the capital of Mughal Empire in 1571 by Emperor Akbar.
Akbar remained heirless until 1569, when his son who became known as Jahangir, was born in the village of Sikri in 1569.
The city was built in honour of the great Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chisti who had predicted the birth of Jahangir.
The city was founded in 1571 and named after the village of Sikri. The Buland Darwaza was built in honor of his successful campaign in Gujarat when the city came to be known as Fatehpur Sikri
“The City Of Victory”.
Fatehpur Sikri was abandoned by Akbar in 1585 when he went to fight a campaign
in Punjab. It was later completely abandoned in 1610, the main reason was shortage of water supply.
