Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Agra.
Fatehpur Sikri is a historic Mughal city located near Agra in present-day Uttar Pradesh.
It was developed on a grand scale by the Mughal emperor Akbar during the 16th century and served for a period as an imperial capital.
The city is particularly famous for its red sandstone architecture and contains important monuments such as the Jama Masjid, Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas and other palace structures.
The source describes Fatehpur Sikri as the 'city of victory' and notes that its red sandstone buildings form an important architectural complex.
Buland Darwaza forms a monumental gateway associated with the Jama Masjid complex.
Fatehpur Sikri is also closely associated with the Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chishti, whose shrine is situated within the complex.
For examinations, remember the direct association: Fatehpur Sikri → near Agra → Akbar → 16th century → Mughal architecture.
Jaipur, Bidar and Aligarh are not the location required by this question.
Therefore, option (d), Agra, is correct.
सही उत्तर आगरा है। Fatehpur Sikri वर्तमान Uttar Pradesh में Agra के निकट स्थित एक ऐतिहासिक Mughal city है। 16वीं शताब्दी में Mughal emperor Akbar ने इसे बड़े पैमाने पर विकसित कराया और कुछ समय तक यह Mughal imperial capital भी रहा। यह नगर विशेष रूप से अपनी red sandstone architecture के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। यहाँ Jama Masjid, Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas तथा कई महत्वपूर्ण महल और इमारतें स्थित हैं। स्रोत Fatehpur Sikri को ‘city of victory’ के रूप में प्रस्तुत करता है और इसके लाल बलुआ पत्थर से निर्मित स्थापत्य का उल्लेख करता है। Buland Darwaza Jama Masjid परिसर से जुड़ा एक विशाल प्रवेश द्वार है। Fatehpur Sikri का संबंध प्रसिद्ध Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chishti से भी है, जिनकी दरगाह इसी परिसर में स्थित है। परीक्षा के लिए सीधा संबंध याद रखें: Fatehpur Sikri → Agra के निकट → Akbar → 16वीं शताब्दी → Mughal architecture। अतः सही उत्तर Agra है।
