For a long time the mansions of nobles of rank and dignitaries of State do not appear to have been built within the royal quarters, though probably they were not situated at a very long distance from it. A more unfettered and intimate social intercourse began to prevail among the noble classes only after the establishment of the Mughal dynasty and with the growth of a thoroughly Indian outlook among all the ruling classes. So that the houses of Birbal and Faizi at Sikri remind the visitor of the frequent interchange of visits between the monarch and his favourite nobles and their mutual care and devotion.
