This grand gate was built to commemorate the military triumphs of Mughal emperor Akbar in Gujarat.
Salim Chishti was a Sufi saint, dearly respected by Emperor Akbar. In fact, the emperor held Salim in such great esteem that he named his son Salim (who would later be known as the Mughal emperor Jahangir) in honour of the saint. The mausoleum built for Salim Chishti in 1580 and 1581 is considered to be one of the greatest examples of Mughal architecture.
Friday Mosque
One of the largest mosque complexes in India. The architecture blends Indian with Persian influences.
The funny name of the palace (samosa referring to the pyramidal shaped dumplings in Indian cuisine) is because it does, in fact, resemble a samosa! It is clean and well maintained, though be wary of the guides in the palace, who can be pushy and touty.
House of Worship
A hall where Emperor Akbar invited religious scholars of a variety of religions to discuss and debate.
