Sikandra, Akbars Tomb

 Akbars tomb is in Sikandra, which is about 8 km south of Agra
compared to the Taj and the Red Fort which gets most tourists this

it is a really quiet and tranquil place..

it has a really grand entrance...

Akbar himself commenced the building of his own tomb in 1600..

Akbar was the third moghul emperor, 1555-1605...

Akbar the great....

wonderful work done in marble and stone

loved to have you here...

this has got to be one of the most wonderful tombs when it comes to artwork...

it's truly amazing..

the four marble minarets at the entrance, or exit today, are similar to the ones at Taj Mahal..

even the squirrels read the signs...

this one really took  it's seriously...jumped to the fence.....
