Akbar's Tomb at Sikandra is the mausoleum of Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great, set within a vast 48-hectare garden complex 13 km northwest of central Agra. The five-storey red sandstone and marble structure uniquely blends Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Christian motifs.
Akbar himself chose the site and began construction around 1605. The tomb was completed by his son Jahangir in 1613. It was looted by Jat rebels in 1691, who stripped the gold and jewels from the interior.
