Now, Akbar is perhaps most famous of all of the Mughal rulers. As you can see, he's able to rule over India for some time. As just mentioned, Humayun essentially had to reconquer, retake the throne, and his hold on power was relatively weak, but now Akbar is able to expand the territory that you see in this light purple mauve color. He's able to increase the central authority, and perhaps most importantly, he tries to unify India culturally. The Mughals are Muslim and are relatively tolerant up through Akbar and to some degree, Jahangir of other religions, but Akbar takes a very pluralistic approach. He's famous for holding court with religious scholars throughout the empire, and even trying to merge the religions, creating what some would consider a religion of his own that would later be called din-i-ilahi, the religion of God. Many Jain and Hindu principles appeal to him.
