Akbar's journey explores his sensitivity to various religious beliefs, culminating in the creation of Din-i-Ilahi, an eclectic faith blending elements from multiple creeds. This new religion challenged traditional ceremonial practices of both Islam and Hinduism, promoting a more inclusive spiritual approach. By integrating insights from learned Brahmans and Portuguese missionaries, Akbar sought to establish a universal faith that transcended existing religious boundaries, emphasizing moderation over excess.
