Fatehpur Sikri

A niche that once held a Hindu deity is currently situated in a Hindu-style temple within the Jodha Bai Mahal palace, which the queen used for worship, in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India, on May 6, 2022. Fatehpur Sikri, founded in 1569 by Mughal Emperor Akbar, is serving as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1571 to 1585. The Jodha Bai Mahal, also known as Jodh Bai Mahal, is the largest palace in Fatehpur Sikri, commissioned by Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1569 for his favorite queen consort, Mariam-uz-Zamani, commonly known as Jodha Bai. The palace is a masterpiece showcasing the fusion of Hindu and Persian architecture, constructed with red sandstone. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
