Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Akbar.
Sikandara, a suburb of Agra, is renowned for Akbar the Great’s tomb, planned by Akbar himself around 1600 following Turkic tradition. Completed by his son Jahangir in 1613, the mausoleum is a prime example of Mughal architecture, built mainly from red sandstone with white marble accents. The south gate’s white marble minarets predate those of the Taj Mahal.
The tomb reflects Akbar’s inclusive vision through its mix of styles and intricate designs. Despite damage during the 17th-century Jat rebellion, it was restored by the British and remains a key historic site near Agra.
