Sikandra is a famous heritage area of Agra which is most widely known as the burial place of Emperor Akbar. It used to be a favoured architectural site during the Mughal era, especially under Emperor Akbar.

Akbar had designed his own mausoleum called Tomb of Akbar the Great or Akbar Ka Maqbara in Hindi, which he illustrated so as to depict religious unity and harmony, involving the features of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Christianity. Moreover, the tomb’s architecture reflects Emperor Akbar’s deep acceptance of universal religions and exceptional secularism.

During the build of the Museum, Akbar unfortunately died, and his son- Emperor Jehangir undertook completion of the tomb and named it as Sikandra. Jehangir also introduced numerous architectural alterations in the design of the mausoleum.

The tomb exhibits exceptional artistry of marbles upon the red sandstone used in the building of the tomb and minarets. Apart from Akbar’s Mausoleum, Sikandra also has the historical gardens built by city architect Sikander Lodhi, and the famous Baradi Palace.
