@the_kaur

Rawalpindi, Rawal is bhagwan Shiv and Pind is unified symbol of his.

Good point. he had 800 wives in his harems.

The marriage with Manbhawati Bai took place on 13 February 1585. Manbhawati gave birth to Khusrau Mirza. Thereafter, Salim was allowed to marry, in quick succession, a number of accomplished girls from the aristocratic Mughal and Rajput families. One of his favourite wives was a Rajput Princess, known as Jagat Gosain and Princess Manmati, who gave birth to Prince Khurram, the future Shah Jahan, Jahangir’s successor to the throne. The total number of wives in his harem was more than eight hundred.

Jahangir married the extremely beautiful and intelligent Mehr-ul-Nisa (better known by her subsequent title of Nur Jahan), in May 1611. She was the widow of Sher Afghan.

khana khane ke liye takliya zaroori nahin.. ek bare se dastarkhwan per ek waqt main 100 biviyon ke sath khana khaya ja sakta hoga
