Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, was the planned capital built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 1570s-80s, abandoned soon after, famous for its red sandstone palaces and the shrine of the Sufi Salim Chishti. It lay in the North-Western Provinces region connected to the career of the reformer Sayyid Ahmad Khan (d. 1898).
