Hi.

Thank You for settling this issue.😊


Though the issue is settled that how certain GUIDES manipulate things at their whims and fancies.😕 But, i was shocked 😲 to read such info.🥱 Hence, decided to RE-RE-CHECK .!..


As for HOLI, we already made a thread where it was clearly given about Akbar playing Holi with his Hindu Begum. 😊 Link for the thread is in my UPDATED signature below.

Also here again:
Mughal Dresses + Holi festival + Mirza Hakim + Shivani Track info + Akbar-MUZ Convo., + Jodha's Sikri Palace + Sher Shah Suri + Akbar was dyslexic..??..etc
https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/jodha-akbar/3848936/mughals-ja-real-is-not-fiction-pt4-author-tms-note-on-pg1-and-91


Regarding the holes in the FS complex, i got info that these were MajorlY used for putting earthen lamps/ 'diyas' type things. Note: This is from Abul Faz'l accounts.👍🏼 And, guide said these were for jewellery.😕


And, that BIG chess-board was called "Pachisi". It is between Anup Talao and Diwan-e-Khas. And, infact close to Diwan-e-Khas.
Akbar played games there as said, BUT any such nuisance😕(i am shocked with what the guide told), THAT TOO would be happening near the Diwan-e-Khas,😲 about revealing, etc. etc..😕..???..


Seems that guide was impressed by the paintings from the Turkish Harem of Ottoman Sultans and the contemporary records. And tried to apply the same LOGIC🤬 with Akbar.😕
If i visit in future i will FIRST ask these GUIDES who told them this nonsense.!.

**************Leaving this Topic. It's CLEAR.😊Something general on GUIDES***************

Anyways, we still get theories about palaces of Queens being swapped😉 by certain guides, along with their "identities" as well.😉 So, this was ALSO another piece of imagination.

BTW, Syria(Clumsy_Wings) once asked me about the "Mental Status" of guides of FS,😆 as some of her acquaintances went to FS probably and were TOLD that MUZ was a Christian.😕

Now i understand her state.😆

@Tamy.Sahi kaha.Seems Akbar has to come now to PROVE..Enough questions on them now.!.
@Sandhya...Not only Akbar has been badly degraded but his Hindu Queen also.(RIP)😊

No. My info doesn't come only from the guides, it comes from historians themselves. 😊 yes the guides at FS definitely do lie about many things. Their lies come from mis-information at a job where they require correct information but have none & hence wish to appear knowledgeable.

For an Emperor to enjoy himself, naked women or not, is nothing wrong. It was the norm those times & my comment was made in jest.

What I would like to state today, is the high moral horse certain people who provide information here, sit on. 😊 it's terribly annoying & irritating & while I love & appreciate the information given , t is irritating to be treated like a 5 year old. 😳

Yes, Akbar was a great Emperor, one of the greatest. But yes, he DID enjoy himself with all sorts of women at Holi included. 😳
