View of a section of the Fatehpur Sikri complex as seen from the top of the audience hall, the Diwan-i-Khas. Visible in the foreground are four people standing in an open space near a brick wall that encloses another section of the fortified complex. The Panch Mahal, a five-story pavilion topped with a large chattri, or a decorative domed pavilion, is visible on the center left area of the image. Multiple domed buildings and chattris can also be seen throughout the complex.
