The Mughal Empire’s WILDEST Tradition:
Introduction: A Glimpse into Mughal Opulence In the grand courts of the Mughal Empire, where silk carpets unfurled like rivers and gem-studded peacocks strutted beside marble fountains, emperors devised rituals so extravagant they defy modern imagination. Among these, one tradition stands out not just for its audacity but for its symbolic genius: the practice of weighing Mughal emperors, princes, and nobles against gold, silver, or precious goods on their birthdays—only to distribute the equivalent wealth to the poor. This ritual, known as “Tuladan” (Sanskrit for “scale-giving”) or “Jashn-e-Wazni” in Persian chronicles, was more than a display of imperial vanity. It was a political spectacle, a spiritual act, and a social contract rolled into one.

Whispers Between the Raindrops
It started with rain. Not the soft kind that kisses the earth but a heavy, relentless downpour that felt like the sky itself was grieving. Amelia stood under a crooked bus stop, soaked to the bone, hugging a thin cardigan around herself. Her umbrella had snapped in the first gust of wind. Typical, she thought bitterly. Just typical.
