View full profile →

Akbar (1542–1605) was the third Mughal emperor, reigning from 1556 to 1605, who expanded the empire across much of the Indian subcontinent. He is renowned for his policy of religious tolerance, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts and learning, including the founding of the Din-i Ilahi syncretic faith. His court at Fatehpur Sikri became a center for intellectual exchange among Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains, and Zoroastrians.
