Tomb of Shaikh Salim Chisti

Shaikh Salim Chisti (1418-1572) was one of the famous Sufi saints of the Chishti Order in India.

Salim Chisti was greatly revered saint, and the Mughal emperor Akbar also kept him in high regard. The legend states that Akbar was not getting any offspring, and he prayed through Salim Chisti. Salim Chisti blessed Akbar, and a son was born to him. He named the child Salim in the memory of Salim Chisti. Salim succeeded Akbar and ruled in the name of Jahangir.

Salim Chisti is buried in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India.
