Thanks for sharing interesting info.
I remember my grandad used to tell us stories of kings n kingdoms and always mentioned that during Akbar's reign there was grandeur and everything was pompous.
He was a history buff.
So can envisage the indulgence if the entrouge from Ameer to Agra was strewn with gold coins

Just imagining that the kingdoms those days must have been so rich n prosperous in the whole world.
And the rulers were intelligent and great statesmen.
I wonder where it disappeared
Both the richness in terms of wealth and wit.

Thanks Abhay, for sharing hitherto unknown details about the grandiose wedding celebrations of Salim and Maan Bai.

 It was customary for distinguished female members of the Imperial Harem, to attend family weddings outside the Agra mahal, isn't it ? I am wondering why nothing has been mentioned in historical records, about Salim's mother MUZ's participation or presence in the wedding festivities.

Enjoyed reading the details. One can clearly see the amount of wealth, the relatively small Kachchwa clan possessed. Akbar reciprocated in kind too and respected the Hindu rites and rituals by which the union was solemnized. By entering an alliance with the Rajputs for the second time, Akbar firmly cemented an awesome relationship with them for life.

Thanks Abhay, for sharing this wonderful piece of information.😊.

Abhay I am dying to know your views about the present track. I know you are keeping busy but please share your thoughts whenever you can.

Unlike most of my forum friends I am not at all happy with this track. The only bright spot is Rajat's performance.

     Very nice post Abhay.  I read some where that once AKBAR while talking to his mother, he is opposing SANUR alliance because Maanbai is not capable of handling an ambitious NUR as she is not that much intelligent n tactful person like MUZ.   This statement really gives us his opinion about his wife n his affection for his DIL.  he always considered MUZ as an equal to him.  He really loved MB as his own daughter.  Its really rare to find a FIL that too an Emperor like AKBAR having these kind of feelings for his DIL.  That's why he was very upset after her suicide n he didn't forgive SA quite easily.  This marriage really gives us an idea about his feelings towards MUZ n her family.
