Did you know, that both Hindus and Muslims celebrated various religious and cultural festivals together in the Mughal courts, such as, Diwali, Eid, Nauroz, Holi, Dusshera and Shab-e-Barat? Many of the materials used to illuminate their Dawats (lamps, lanterns, hanging chandeliers and sparklers) continue to make their way into our celebrations and traditions today, in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and other parts of South Asia.
“That might surprise those who associate Mughal emperors with being staunch Muslims, but it’s worth remembering that with the number of marital alliances made with the families of Hindu rulers - especially the Rajputs - over the years, many of the Mughal queens and secondary wives were Hindu. They would bring their own religious festivals and traditions into the mahal sara (women’s quarters), and by extension, into the Emperor’s life.” ~ Madhulika Liddle
