Unscramble the letters collected to get "Fatehpur Sikri".
Fatehpur Sikri was the political capital of India's Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar's reign for about one and a half decades after which it was abandoned, presumably due to lack of water.
Fatehpur Sikri shared its imperial duties as a capital city with Agra, where a bulk of the arsenal, treasure hoards, and other reserves were kept at its Red Fort for security. During a crisis, the court, harem, and treasury could be removed to Agra, only 26 miles away, less than a day's march.
It is regarded as emperor Akbar's crowning architectural legacy. Indeed, its numerous palaces, halls, and masjids satisfy his creative and aesthetic impulses, typical of Mughals. Fatehpur Sikri now is a World Heritage Site.
