Fatehpur Sikri

Built by Empoeror Akbar in the late 1500's, Fatehpur Sikri was popular with early morning visitors, ourselves included. The red sandstone work is amazing and it was nice to image it in its heyday.
This is the Diwan-i-Khas, the hall for private audience and debate.

The beautiful carvings in the sandstone cried out to be rubbed, but we didn't want to upset the guards at this World Heritage Site!
The most amazing panels were in the Turkish Sultanas House.
