Fatehpur Sikri The Abandoned Capital City, through pictures, would kindle thoughts and action for an adventure, and motivate some readers to make a trip to Fatehpur Sikri. For those who have visited Fatehpur Sikri, it should be a 'trip down memory lane' and a 'reminder of what you saw', 'where you needed to spend more time', and maybe 'what you missed'. Fatehpur Sikri is a reminder that culture of yesteryears display a high level of scientific understanding, with an aesthetic touch. The foundation of most buildings with stone flooring and the associated drainage system are intact even after four and a half centuries. For every visitor/reader there is a connect to your profession, to social aspects, to stories you have read or heard - architect, builder, city planner, student. The reader can imagine the journey of pink/red stone mined in Bharatpur/Dholpur as jumbo blocks on animal drawn carts to the Fatehpur Sikri complex and transformation by highly skilled artisans sculpting it as ornate pillars, lintels/beams, lattice work, geometric designs, floral and other motifs, stone frills and walls, most of which are made from a single stone, breathing life into it.
