Vision Translated

The story of Sheikh Salim Chisti Darga and Mughal Emperor Akbar’s links with it ! Near Agra and Keoladeo National park, there is a World Heritage Site, which is the palace of Mughal Emperor Akbar and adjacent the tomb of Seikh Salim Chishti, which surprisingly shares the same wall, but it is still now is a personal property. The ancestors of Sheikh Salim Chisti still stay in the compound. Each time I visited the pace for a weekend long drive, came to know little bit from each guide and then read more to know some more. Each part of it was more interesting more the interesting story.

Suddenly through the window a whistling noise came and it forced to look out of the window glasses. The sky was amazingly beautiful. I put the laptop down. It was time to capture the moments.
