1st of all, a big 👏 for u ...for having dug out all these info on Festivities and fashion...which I am sure would be interesting to all the Ladies and Gentlemen here...😃 And the Paintings are simply Awesome...😃
After reading this I hope, the confusion of the members ' whether Holi was celebrated Before Heera's marriage or only After by Akbar' will be dispelled considerably.
Why?? Becoz if that had been a custom before Heera's entry in Akbar's life , then there wouldn't have been explicit portrayal of Hindu/Rajput Begum/Ladies in all the paintings of the Mughal Royalty. Also we can't forget that Jahangir and Shah Jahan having strong Maternal connection with Rajputs(read Ameris), obviously had the ritual alive in them and hence more prone to celebrate these festivals than other later Mughal emperors.
Regards,
Kamal
P.S. Having exchanged views on this already with you earlier, so I don't think I should write anymore as of now...rather shall wait for others to comment.😃
@ Red
Whatever, u have said is correct.
And, we do have accounts telling..the same...
But, i am sure, that, When the show (read CV's), show all this.that Akbar started celebrating HOLI with Heera...The forum will start again with usual dialogue--->>"CV's attempting, character assasination attempt at Akbar..🤣"...
Really, without thinking for a split second...We reject everything...When MAJORITY of events can be related..to REALITY...Really...it's an irony..!!..
Even, u also know the currently concluded track of this marriage-age issue had some element..😉..Infact, we should wait for more time, to see how badly people can bash the story, without considering reality into account...😆..Now, its getting funnier...
THe mood swings are so FAST..
Day1-->> CV's ki Jai...
Day2--->> CV's hai hai...
Totally..childish.,..😕...
