The Shish-Mahal (The Glass-Palace)

This was built by the Mughal King Shahjahan as a Summer Palace. It has two tanks with fountains, interconnected by a canal, and a water fall(Abshar). These water-devices were provided to keep it cool and comfortable in the scorching heat of Agra. The distinctive feature of this palace is the glass-mosaic work which has been done, on a wide variety of stucco designs, on all its walls and ceilings. Glass-pieces have high mirror quality. As the building is made up of thick walls with only a few openings, the semi-dark interior required artificial light, which glittered and twinkled in thousand ways through this glass-work. It created an ethereal atmosphere. It was not a Hammam. This glass was imported from "Haleb" (Aleppo in Syria) which is why shahjahan’s Historian Lahauri has referred to it as "Shishaye Halebi". Glass mosaic was originally a Byzantine art. Shahjahan built glass palaces also at Lahore and Delhi but this is his finest "Shish-Mahal".

Babur’s Baoli And Overhead Tanks

This is the spot where Babur’s Baoli and water-works were situated. Babur recorded in his memoirs that he built a stone baoli/(Step-Well) in Agra Fort. In had three-storeys. The bullock turned the water-wheel (Rehant) for raising water. In the second storey, all these opened on the stairs which descended down to water. It was completed after the battle of Khanwa in 1527 A.D. and Babur placed there an inscription. A well was attached to it at a higher level and water from the Baoli was first raised to this well. A ‘Rehant’ also worked in it "by means of which water is carried along the ramparts to the high garden", as Babur recorded. This was altered when Akbar built his palaces (1565-1573). It was necessary to use a third ‘Rehant’ to raise water. Therefore, a three-storeyed water-pavilion was erected on the mouth of the second well and three overhead tanks were built on its roof. Water from Babur’s Baoli was conducted into these tanks. The northern wall has 27 pipe-mouth...

Ankh Micholi Treasury

Pristinely beautiful and resplendent in her history, which dates back to ages immemorial, Uttar Pradesh Tour in India are, usually, said to be incomplete if your tour itinerary to Uttar Pradesh does not include Tours to Fatehpur Sikri. Standing as a mute witness of the grandeur of the architectural splendor of the Mughals, Fatehpur Sikri stands as a fond remainder of an era gone by. Famous in the annals of history as the once bustling capital of the Mughals, Fatehpur Sikri is today one of the most precious proofs of the rich history and culture of India. Adding a great deal of worth to this already beautiful historic land mark is the Ankh Micholi Treasury, Fatehpur Sikri, one of the leading Monuments in Fatehpur Sikri. History of the Ankh Micholi Treasury, Fatehpur Sikri Built as a form of homage to the memory of the memory of the great Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chisti, who, it is said, blessed the emperor with an heir to the Mughal throne in India, who was to be later known as Jaha...
