the capital of India.

Construction of Agra Fort was originally started by Emperor Akbar in

1565, but his son, Jahangir, and grandson, ShahJahan, later made

additions. It houses the Dewan-e-Khas and Dewan-e-Aam (Halls of

Private and Public Audience) and its walls are a silent witness to the

rise and fall of the Imperial Mughal Empire. The palaces and courtyards

within the fort feature a variety of ingenious Islamic inspired devices

be a very tolerant ruler, the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri blend both

Islamic and Hindu elements in their architectural style. Experts argue

that Fatehpur Sikri is the greatest accomplishment of Mughal architecture,

surpassed only in reputation but not in its beauty by the Taj Mahal.

The cultural politics of the site remain to be written; perhaps the

mammoth chess board, where human figures were used as chess pieces

and moved at the emperor's will, provides a clue.
