Located on the outskirts of Agra, this grand monument beautifully blends Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain design elements, reflecting Akbar’s philosophy of unity among cultures. Set within lush gardens laid out in the traditional Charbagh style, Sikandra impresses visitors with its massive gateway, intricate carvings, and the striking contrast of red sandstone and white marble.
