En se dissipant, les brumes d’un matin d’automne dévoilent peu à peu les tours, les minarets et les murailles de cette ville-fantôme.
Fatehpur Sikri fut, de 1571 à 1585, la capitale de l’empire Moghol. L’empereur Akbar en avait ordonné la construction. Ce chef-d’oeuvre de l’architecture Indo-Musulmane dut être abandonné peu après la mort de l’empereur car le site était insuffisamment irrigué.
