fatehpur sikri

a panaromic view of fatehpur sikri fort, agra shot from satphera tower behind the old fort.

we were lucky to climb this tower, usually closed because of presence of some local boys . the climb provided a grand spectacular view around.




The tower is actually a tomb of akbar's justice elephant "heera" which was used to decide fate of accused in the state. The accused were kept in front of elephant , the elephant would smell the person ,decide whether to crush him to death or would avoid him and just walk away, in which case the accused was freed of capital punishment by akbar.

the shakes in the video are proofs of altitude and wind force making standing difficult as well as risky !




a must see spot if u go to agra !!!
