Akbar's tomb in Sikandra is a monument screaming for sensitive restoration. Collosal in scale and richly detailed in its art, it has withstood plunder and desecration but will it survive apathy as well as the villanisation of its resident?

Akbar's Tomb in Sikandra.
The profusion or chattris is striking. Sikri may have been long abandoned by the king but its architectural frame continued to define the emperor's tastes.
