connection to the royal family

Scholars such as Steven Cohen have previously argued that Akbar and his son Jahangir made prominent displays of bandhanī—a tie-dyed cotton fabric—in their dress and portrait paintings in order to symbolically allude to the marriage alliances that they had entered into with several Rajput lineages, signalling, in this instance, Akbar’s connection to the royal family of Kachhwaha. At Gogunda, the battle was fought between the armies of the Rajput kingdom of Mewar and Akbar’s imperial forces led by Raja Man Singh I, the ruler of the Kachhwaha principality of Amber. Here, the inclusion of bandhanīreflects both Akbar’s familial ties as well as his military conquest. สล็อต
