Public Court Yard (Janta Darbar)

Ajay Sharma 54 months ago

Diwani-I-Aam, or the hall of public audience (Janta Darbar) was a huge rectangular walled-in courtyard where petitions were heard, proclamations made, embassies received and entertainment programs held. The royal balcony, set within a frame of jail screens, appears on the western front. In front of the royal seat, a stone hook is still found embedded in the ground. As per tradition, Akbar's pet elephant Hiran was tied to this hook to crush to death under its feet the head of the guilty. If it refused to obey thrice, the victim was freed.

Resplendent in the aura of grandeur, which comes naturally from the red sand stones which are the basic construction materials used for the entirety of the complex, Fatehpur Sikri has always been one of the greatest tourist attractions of Uttar Pradesh. This ancient capital of Emperor Akbar is even today, one of the highlights for tourists planning Tours to Uttar Pradesh. Located in the heart of this ancient city is the Diwan-I-Aam, Fatehpur Sikri, one of the most important Monuments in Fatehpur Sikri.
