AKBAR THE GREAT had many wives, for he cemented every treaty with a feudal kingdom by marriage with one of its daughters. Thus his Royal zenana was full of beautiful women of different races and creeds. Among them was a lovely Rajput Princess.This fair girl came from a kingly house, and her father, according to ancient custom, had sent with her, when she came to Agra as a bride, ladies-in-waiting, maids, cooks, altar-boys, musicians, and all that could add to the comfort and state of his little daughter in her new life.
