Nice place and scenes of water from here.. Anoop talab it's a pond of small size.. On which The GREAT TANSEN used to practices his music.. Nice architecture once again and it's a great example of good engineering.. A platform on pond.. Heard to imagine and very heart to build.. My God.. Hat's off to mughal and thiere architecture

It was designed to collect the rain water naturally and the musical guru Tansen used to practice on this talaab.

Anup Talao, or ‘peerless pool’ is located in front of khawabgah, Akbar's private quarters. This is one of the most beautiful sites in all of Fatehpur Sikri. This square red sand stone tank  measures approximately 30 meters on each side; in the middle of the tank is a  raised platform, and the platform is enclosed by an ornate balustrade. Attached to the central platform are four causeways, which connect the platform to the four sides of the tank. Originally the tank was connected to the water works system located on the northern side of the city.  The Anoop Talao is forever associated with Akbar's legendary court musician Tansen who, it is said, could light oil lamps with the magic of his voice.
