Akbar built the city of Fatehpur Sikri in Agra, India, in honor of Shaikh Salim Chishti between 1571-1585. It served as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1571-1585. Due to inadequate water supplies, it was abandoned. In 1585 Lahore became the capital. In 1599, Akbar again shifted his capital back to Agra.
The city of Agra was founded by Sikander Lodi of Delhi Sultanate in 1504. He shifted his capital from Delhi to Agra. The present day Agra fort was built by the Mughals. Emperor Akbar renovated the fort with red sandstone and his grandson Shah Jahan added the pearl mosque, Khas Mahal, Shish Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Am. Nagina Masjid was built under the reign of Aurangzeb.
Akbar built Fatehpur Sikri as his new capital to commemorate the birth of his son and heir, who was born after the blessings of a Sufi saint residing in the area. He wanted to establish a new city that symbolized religious harmony and inclusivity, bringing together elements of Hindu, Islamic, and Persian architecture and culture.
