Explanation

Din-E-Ilahi (Divine Faith) was a syncretic religious path initiated by Emperor Akbar in 1582. It was not a new religion but an attempt to find a common ground between different faiths, combining elements from Hinduism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity. It emphasized tolerance and rationalism over ritualistic practices.
