He visited several holy men and shrines to seek blessings for the birth of a son, but in vain - till one day he visited the saint Salim Chisti who predicted the birth of a son. Akbar quickly built a few royal palaces close to the saints hermitage and the queen who had just conceived moved in. Thus was born Mohammed Salim named after the saint.

India's capital and a major gateway to the country, contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis which successfully combines in its fold the ancient and the modern. Its strategic location was one of the prime reasons why successive dynasties chose it as their seat of power. It is not surprising then, that what constitutes Delhi is a conglomerate of seven cities. Down the ages the region in and around modern delhi saw Lalkot built in the mid 11th century, Siri established by Allauddin Khilji, Tughlakabad and Ferozabad built by the tughlaks followed by the city of the lodhis and then came Shahjahanabad, capital of the mughals under Shah Jehan. New Delhi also reflects the legacy the British left behind. The division between new and old Delhi is the distinction between the capitals of the British and the Mughals respectively. So, wherever the visitor goes he will invariably confront the city's past.
