INTRODUCTION
Just without one of the massive bastioned gates of the city ofFathpur-Sikri there stood in the year 1580 a caravanserai that affordedaccommodation for man and beast. Here would alight travellers drawn bythe calls of homage, by business, or by curiosity to the famous Town ofVictory, built, as the inscription over the gateway told, by "HisMajesty, King of Kings, Heaven of the Court, Shadow of God, Jalal-ad-dinMohammed Akbar Padishah."
