The saint blessed Akbar and prophesied the birth of three sons to the then childless emperor. Akbar used Fatehpur Sikri as his capital and the city was active for 14 years. Sadly, it eventually became deserted and ruined after Akbar left the city. Water scarcity caused this city to be abandoned.

When visiting Amber, be sure to see the Jag Mandir or the Hall of Victory located inside the palace. It's a famous room with all four walls and ceiling decorated with glittering mirror pieces. The mirrors were imported from Belgium during that period. On the way to Amber Fort, there is a brief photography stop at Hawa Mahal, which is also known as the Palace of Winds.

My husband and I just took this tour and it could not have been better. The sights are spectacular and the extremely knowledgeable guides bring the temples and forts to live. We also got exposed to everyday life in India - walking through the bazars and meeting local families. This tour exposes one not only to the standard places but some hidden gems off the beaten path. All is done in comfort and all the details are taken care off so one can immerse oneself in the long history of India and its beauty.
