Fatehpur Sikri ( English )

Fatehpur Sikri is situated on an extension of the upper Vindhyan Ranges on the bank of a large natural lake which has now mostly dried up. The ridge is composed of red sandstone formations. It is prehistoric site and, with abundant water, forest and raw material. It was ideal for primitive man’s habitation. Rock shelters with paintings exist on the periphery of the lake. Stone Age tools have been found in this area. Ochre colored pottery (C. 2nd Millennium B.C) and painted grey ware (C 1200-800 B.C) have also been discovered. Sikri has been mentioned in the Mahabharata as "Saik" in connection with Sahadeva's southern conquests on the eve of the Pandavas's Rajasuya yajna. Lexicons define "Saik" as a region surrounded by water which denotes its original topography. Sikri is derived from the root. The inscription on the sculptures of Jaina Saraswati dated in 1010 A.D mentions the palace as "Sekrikya" which is also a similar derivative. Excavations have revealed Jaina and Brahmaniol sculptures of 10th and 11th centuries A.D. All this shows that it was continuously inhabitated since the prehistoric period. It was an important landmark on the ancient trade route, which connected the northern and the southern regions and it was a great cultural center where temples abounded.
