A Day Trip to Fatehpur Sikri & Chand Baori from Agra
Description
In the first half of the day, we will leave Agra for Fatehpur Sikri. After one hour, we will reach Fatehpur Sikri.
The dynastic architecture of Fatehpur Sikri was modelled on Timurid forms and styles. The city was built massively and preferably with red sandstone. The city's architecture reflects both the Hindu and Muslim form of domestic architecture popular in India at the time. The remarkable preservation of these original spaces allows modern archaeologists to reconstruct scenes of Mughal court life and to better understand the hierarchy of the city's royal and noble residents.
It is accessed through gates along the 8-km-long fort wall, namely, Delhi Gate, Lal Gate, Agra Gate, Birbal's Gate, Chandanpal Gate, Gwalior Gate,T ehra Gate, Chor Gate & Ajmeri Gate. The palace contains a summer palace and a winter palace for Queen Jodha.
After this tour, we will go to Chand Baori.
