Correct Answer - Option 3 : Jahangir

The correct answer is Jahangir.

  • Mugal Jahangir after his recovery from illness wore pearl earrings as a token of thanks to the Sufi Saint Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chisti.
  • Jahangir once fell seriously ill and he prayed to his Khwaja and staged a quick recovery that takes his doctors by surprise.
  • Once he has fully recovered, he has his ears pierced as a sign that he is a ‘ear-bored slave’ of his patron, and wears pearl earrings.
  • In a matter of a few months, pearl earrings are in high demand among men of rank and fashionistas.

 

  • Note also that Jahangir has special affection for the Vaishanavite yogi by the name of Jadrup.
  • Moinuddin Chisti-
    • There is a mystic known as the Sun of the Kingdom of Hind, Aftab Mulk-i-Hind. Founder of the Chisti Silsila, he walked the earth in the 13th Century.
    • Also known as Khwaja Ajmeri, Moinuddin Chisti laid the foundations of a mystical order that is the most important in the region.
    • Akbar is a great devotee of the Chisti Silsila.
