These elaborate screens decorate the mausoleum of the Sufi saint Salim Chisti (1478-1572). The building, considered one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India, was built in 1580-1581 by the Emperor Akbar to honor the saint, whose prayers he believed had guaranteed the birth of male heirs to the throne.
