pigs
road to fatehpur sikri road to fatehpur sikri

After Akbar's tomb, we got back on the road to head to Fatehpur Sikri, which is a city that Akbar built. The city is entire built of red sandstone. It was abandoned after 14 years due to lack of a ready source of water.

The first picture is of pigs that I saw along the way to Fatehpur Sikri. Like cows, one finds pigs wandering around on the roads. There is a prohibition against slaughtering cows; I'm pretty sure there is no such prohibition about pigs.

The road to Fatehpur Sikri was a small dirt road that was very bumpy. We traveled along this road for almost thirty minutes before we got to something that was paved better.
