Tomb of someone
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
The dude (Shah Jahan) who created the Taj Mahal wanted a son and came to this guru in Fatehpur Sikri who predicted that he could get a son. When he did get a son, he built this tomb for him and it has become a site of pilgramage for barren women or those who want sons. So devoted was Shah Jahan that he moved the capital of the Mughal empire here. Now all that remains are ruins and the palace. And daytrippers from Agra 40 km away and hordes of touts.
