Agra, pt. 3

After a nice long Saturday, we did a quick visit to another site (sight?) on Sunday. On our way, we passed this man transporting balloons on his bicycle.
and then to Fatephur Sikri, another Mughal complex. I believe this was built by a descendant of the Taj Mahal ruler. It is built out of red sandstone, an abundant building material in this area. Here is a large enclosure where the ruler's harem stayed. Our guide showed as a lifesize parchisi board where the ruler played, using his lovely ladies as pieces.
Here we are, enjoying the complex.
