About Sikandra
Akbar's mausoleum at Sikandara is a unique pyramidal tomb structure.
The architectural specifications of the tomb shows that the structure
is a perfect blend of Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, and Jain motifs,
thus reflecting the spirit of religious toleration, which Akbar
practiced during his reign..
A remarkable feature of this multistoried building is the presence
of three-storey-minarets on its four corners. These minarets are
built in red sandstone with stunning inlay work of marble. The mausoleum
is surrounded by a beautiful garden, providing a tranquil ambience
to the last abode of this great ruler.
Any tour to the medieval Indian city of Agra remains incomplete
without visiting the mausoleum of one of India's most admired and
popular rulers, Akbar the Great.
