00:18So let's start
00:21You can reach Fatehpur Sikri by driving about 43 km from Agra
00:28If you want to go by bus, then catch a bus from Agra's Idgah bus stand
00:33Buland Darwaja and its surrounding monuments such as Jodhabai Palace, Panch Mahal, etc.
00:40You have two ways to see, the first way is at the right height from the back of the bus stand
00:46Which will take you directly to the front gate of Buland Darwaja
00:49And the second way, which you will see as soon as you enter Fatehpur, will take you directly to the gate of the fort
00:56The height of Buland Darwaja is about 54 meters and it is made of red limestone
01:03You can stand in front of it and take some excellent photos
01:08And you can take a view of the entire Fatehpur Sikri city from the front
01:17After entering from Buland Darwaja, you come inside a square complex
01:24From where you can see Sheikh Salim Chishti Dargah and Jama Masjid next to it
01:33After visiting and taking some good pictures, you can go to Jodhabai Palace from Badshahi Darwaja

06:24Mughal Emperor Akbar had everything by the grace of God
06:28If there was any sorrow, it was that he didn't have a child
06:31But his sorrow ended when he got the blessing of Sheikh Salim Chishti from a village called Sikri
06:40A big problem of his life was solved and he got a child
06:45All this made Akbar so happy that he took the favor of Sikri village and made it his capital
