This was when the monarchy, the court, the palaces were all established on a grand scale. But the process of establishing Mughal forms - including its practices, institutions, cities, imperial splendour - occurred over a period of time. By the latter half of Akbar's reign, the empire had become increasingly well rooted and by then had come to be presented as sacred. Another related development in the process of imperial construction was the emphasis on its disciplinary aspect, which in turn had deep implications on the domestic world of the divine monarch. - Reproduced History Economic and Political Weekly 48133 48133 48133 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 36, Issue no: 11 AR48561 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
