An excellent work of historical fiction. Akbar is the child of India, nurtured by its God and Goddesses. A devotee of truth, wisdom and knowledge, he embraced and explored the beauty of all religions in an effort to weave the tapestry of one united whole. This saga unfolds such a tapestry in colours warm and exquisite. The theme itself was a journey toward unity in time and timelessness. On the path to truth, Akbar invited padres and theologians from all over the world to discover similarities in religions, not disparities. On the path to love, he became the disciple of his Hindu and Muslim brides, paying homage to the sanctity in beauty, both physical and spiritual.
