History Of Akbari Fort & Museum

Ajmer , Rajasthan, India
The Akbari Fort & Museum, also known as the Ajmer Fort or Daulat Khana, holds immense historical significance as the only major fort in Ajmer built not on a hilltop, but on the plains in the heart of the city. It was commissioned by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1570 AD. The fort served a dual p urpose: as a resting place for Akbar during his frequent pilgrimages to the nearby Ajmer Sharif Dargah of Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chishti, and as a military stronghold for advancing the Mughal armies in the region. Most importantly, this fort is historically famous as the place where Emperor Jahangir (son of Akbar), in 1616, received Sir Thomas Roe, the ambassador of King James I of England. This meeting was a pivotal moment in Indian history as Jahangir granted Roe the farm?n (royal decree) permitting the British East India Company to establish a trading post in Surat, which eventually paved the way for British rule in India. In 1908, during the British era, a significant portion of the fort was converted into a museum, initially named the Rajputana Museum. Today, it is known as the Government Museum, Ajmer. The museum showcases a rich collection of Mughal and Rajput weaponry, miniature paintings, sculptures, old rock inscriptions, and historical relics, providing a deep dive into the regional military and artistic history. The fort's architecture reflects a strong Mughal influence, offering a stark yet impressive contrast to the more traditional Rajput structures elsewhere in Rajasthan.
