View of Fatehpur Sikri from a distance, with various buildings of the palatial complex visibly scattered over a hilly area. The Hiran Minar, or Elephant Tower, a tower with protruding tusk-like objects, can be seen in the center of the image. In the foreground is a tree and a winding dirt pathway leading to the complex. Also visible are four people dressed in traditional garments in the middle of the pathway.
