Who introduced jarokha darshan? What was its purpose?

Answer»

Akbar introduced this. The day of the Emperor started with prayers. Then he would appear in a balcony which faced eastward. Jharoka is this balcony. All kinds of people – soldiers, traders, artisans, agriculturists, women with sick children – waited for this darshan of the Emperor. This is called jharoka darshan. This was a way of getting the support of the people and increasing the acceptability of the government.
