After that, Akbar was in search of another heir and came to visit the Sufi saint Salim Chishti who lived in a cavern near the Sikri area.
The saint foretold that Akbar would soon have a son and it happened as predicted. To celebrate the birth of his son, Akbar named his son Salim after the saint.
This Prince Salim was to grow up to become the renowned emperor Jehangir. When Prince Salim was two years old, Akbar went back to Sikri and started to build an architectural wonder of a historic town known as Fatehabad. This town was later to be known as Fatehpur Sikri.
However, his dream to build this architectural wonder of a town and to have his people prosper in this city was shortlived.
