Explanation

In 1585, Emperor Akbar shifted the Mughal capital from Fatehpur Sikri to Lahore. The move was strategic as Lahore was better positioned for military campaigns in the northwest, and Fatehpur Sikri faced water shortages. The capital remained in Lahore for several years during Akbar's reign.
