Akbarnama is a major primary source in the study of Mughal history. It is criticized by various historians, as a flattery of a senior courtier for the emperor of Hindustan, Akbar. However, we cannot deny its importance and the rich information that it provides about the contemporary times of Akbar’s rule. This paper would explore Akbarnama as a political tool that legitimized Akbar’s rule and established him as a balanced ruler. It would explore the various tenets of Akbar’s character that has been highlighted through some events throughout his period of reign via text and paintings
