Tomb of Salim Chishti, Marble mausoleum in Fatehpur Sikri, India.
The white marble structure features geometric patterns on its plinth, intricate carvings on walls, and a central dome above the main chamber.
Emperor Akbar commissioned this tomb between 1580 and 1581 to honor Sufi saint Salim Chishti, who predicted the birth of the imperial heir.
Muslim pilgrims attach black threads to the marble screens as a symbol of their prayers and wishes to the saint buried within.
The mausoleum stands on a platform reached by five steps, with the entrance facing south toward the Buland Darwaja gate.
The tomb chamber contains an ebony enclosure decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays surrounding the central marble cenotaph.
