Jahangir, an intellectually astute and multilingual cosmopolitan monarch, was a naturalist and scholar who investigated Hindu customs and faith. He attended Parsee and Hindu celebrations, such as the Rakhi festival and Diwali. Jahangir's sovereign and mother, Man Bai, was a Rajput princess. Guru Arjan and Akbar maintained a cordial rapport; however, Jahangir ascended to the throne subsequent to Akbar's demise. Khusrau, his eldest son, rebelled and subsequently withdrew to Punjab. On the way, he encountered Guru Arjan after being apprehended by the imperial army. Khusrau was granted 5,000 rupees by the Guru in order to meet his expenditures. Conversely, his inability to wed Har Gobind to Prithia, the senior sibling of Guru Arjan, incited hostility from Chandu Shah and Prithia. Prithia and Chandu collaborated in an effort to eliminate the Guru. His son Mihrban apprised Emperor Jahangir of the event following Prithia's demise and provided Khusrau with reassurance regarding his prospective heir to the throne. Qazis and pandits capitalised on this circumstance by asserting that the Guru had written a book in opposition to the tenets of Islam and Hinduism. Jahangir embarked on a journey to Pushkar, a highly regarded Hindu pilgrimage site renowned for its multitude of ancient and contemporary sanctuaries, one of which was the "Deohara." In exchange for sustenance, Jahangir engaged in dialogue with the Jogis of Jakhbar, who were bestowed with land in Punjab. Jahangir ruled during the reign of Gaddi Chandar Nath, a chief to whom Akbar had granted land in 1578 A.D. Jahangir encountered inquiries from his disciples, with Bhandar Nath in particular, concerning the madad-i-mash grant that had been sanctioned by the emperor. After consenting to the request, he left.
