Tomb of Shaykh Salim Chishti, Jama Masjid, Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh.

Salim Chishti (1478 1572) was a Sufi saint of the Chishti Order during the Mughal Empire (1526 - 1757) in South Asia. Chishti's tomb was originally built with red sandstone but later converted into a beautiful marble mausoleum. Salim Chishti's Mazar (tomb) is in the middle of the Emperor's Courtyard at Fatehpur Sikri. The mausoleum was constructed by Akbar as a mark of his respect for the Sufi saint, who foretold the birth of his son, who was named Prince Salim after him and later succeeded Akbar to the throne of the Mughal Empire, as Jahangir. Fatehpur Sikri (the City of Victory) was built during the second half of the 16th century by the Emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605). It was the capital of the Mughal Empire for 10 years.
