The dynastic architecture of Fatehpur Sikri was modelled on Timurid forms and styles. The city was built massively and preferably with red sandstone.

The remarkable preservation of these original spaces allows modern archaeologists to reconstruct scenes of Mughal court life & to better understand the hierarchy of the city's royal and noble residents.

The Chand Baori is a stepwell built over a thousand years ago in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan. It is one of the largest stepwells in the world and also one of the most beautiful ones.
