Abstract
This research article explores the features of the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan's religious
policy. With the accession of Shahjahan, the Mughal Empire entered upon a new phase
because he was not liberal as his father, Emperor Jahangir and grandfather, Emperor Akbar
were but the religious tolerance was still the state policy of the government. The influence
of Jesuits declined during his period but a number of European travellers have given a
picturesque description of fairs, festivals and ceremonies of Shahjahan's Court. Dara
Shikoh's friendly relation with Jesuits and his interests in Christianity has also been
discussed in this article.
