The Ibadatkhana, constructed at Fatehpur Sikri in 1575, served as a meeting place where Akbar invited scholars, saints and theologians of various religions to engage in discussions. Representatives from Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism debated issues of faith, ethics and philosophy. These dialogues influenced Akbar’s views on tolerance and inspired the creation of Din-i-Ilahi. The Ibadatkhana symbolized Akbar’s desire to promote intellectual exchange and reduce religious conflict. It remains one of the most important achievements reflecting the emperor’s liberal and inquisitive outlook.
