Plates 57, Figures 17
The Ibadat Khanah which Akbar founded at Fatehpur Sikri
for
religious and philosophical discussions was one of his greatest
and the most famous institutions. It culminated in the
establishment of the Din-i-Ilahi (1582) and doctrine of Sulh-i-Kul.
But in spite of consistent efforts for more than a century, its
actual site had not been traced. In this book Dr Sharma has
traced, identified and established the Ibadat-Khanah and discussed
its Institution, Situation and Composition.
Chapters:
1. The Institution of the 'Ibadat Khanah'
2. Situation of the Ibadat Khanah
3. Composition of the Ibadat Khanah
4. Archaeological Analysis of the Recent Claims of its
identification
