Legend has it that Emperor Akbar walked barefoot to meet Sheikh Salim Chishti a sufi saint who lived about 12 miles off Agra in a small village called Sikri. On meeting the emperor the saint predicted the birth of a male heir. The heir arrived and was named Salim in honor of the saint. This child born in the village of Sikri would go on to rule this country as the 4th emperor of the Mughal dynasty and be known as Jahangir. Soon after the child was born Akbar started building a compound where Akbar could live in close proximity with the old sufi, who Akbar had come to treat as a mentor.
