AGE OF THE MUGHAL SPLENDOR

Akbar was succeeded by his favorite son, Jahangir, who ruled the empire from 1605 to 1628. The son did not pursue military conquest as forcefully as his father. Later on his life Akbar spent most of his time concerned with administration, culture, the arts, and his new religion, Din-i Ilahi, rather than pursuing wars of conquest. Jahangir and Akbar both shared a love for the arts, painting, architecture, philosophy, and literature, while ignoring military conquest. The period of Jahangir's tenure as Emperor is considered the richest period of Mughal culture; Indian, Muslim, and Western scholars have named this period, the age of Mughal splendor.(3)
