The tomb of Salim Chisti is located in the courtyard of the Jami Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, its construction beginning along with the mosque in A.D. 1571.Originally a sandstone structure, it was converted into a more expensive marble structure sometime during the end of Jahangir’s reign and the beginning of Shah Jahan’s reign as per the style of the period, and thus creates a contrast with the grandiose, massive and purposeful nature of the structures surrounding it with its own light and airy nature which gives an appearance of chiseled, polished and fretted exquisiteness.
