Though the city was buil had to be abandoned after 15 years due to scarcity of water. Interestingly, FathepurSikri represents Akbar’s secular, unifying and reconciliatory vision as the Emperor of India. The most important buildings in this vast complex are BulandDarwaza. Inside the fort is Diwan-i-Khas is a small double storied enclosure with a surprisingly innovative central pillar with heavy corbels that supports a balcony.
  PanchMahal,a five-storey pavilion crowned with a domed chatri which overlooks the men's area. Jama Masjid and the white marble dargah of the Sufi saint SalimChisti.
  KhwajaShaikhSalimChisti (1418-1572) was a greatly revered saint. ShaikhSalim was a Chishti saint who lived in the village of Sikri, as an ascetic. He came to imperial notice when he correctly predicted the birth of a childless Mughal emperor Akbar's son. He also looked after the emperor’s wife who had come to live in his village during her pregnancy. It was to thank and honor this saint that Akbar, in 1571, established the palatial-religious complex of FatehpurSikri on the site of ShaikhSalim's village, making it his capital. In gratitude Akbar also named his son Salim who later succeeded his father and ruled as Jahangir. The saint died shortly after construction of the capital began. His tomb is of white marble, and is enclosed by the Jama Masjid. The entrance porch of his shrine is held up by unusual but extraordinary serpant-like supports. Inside the tomb is the saint’s cenotaph, sheltered by a canopy decorated with mother-of-pearl. SalimChisti’s shrine is considered to be one of the best architectural accomplishments of the Mughals. 
  Legend says that Emperor Akbar walked barefoot from Agra fort covering a distance of 20 miles to seek the saint’s blessings. It is believed that offering prayers at SalimChisti’s shrine is wish fulfilling. There is also a ritual of tying a thread at the marble windows of this Dargah to fulfill the wishes.
