After the mid-16th century, many Rajput rulers formed close ties with the Mughal emperors and served them in various capacities.[1][2] It was because of the support of the Rajputs that Akbar was able to lay the foundation of the Mughal Empire in India.[3] The vassals had their daughters and sisters married to the Mughal emperors and their princes.[4][5][6] The successors of the Mughal emperor Akbar, the mothers of his son Jahangir and grandson Shah Jahan were Rajputs.[7] The Sisodia Rajput family of Mewar made it an honor not to enter into matrimonial relations with the Mughals, and thus stood in contrast to all other Rajput clans.[8] After this time, the marital relations between the Rajputs and the Mughals declined somewhat.[9] Akbar's relations with the Rajputs began when he returned in 1561 from a visit by the Chisti Sufi Shaikh of Sikri, west of Agra. Then many Rajput princesses married Mughal emperor Akbar.[10]
