Answer:
The Mughals ruled over India for about 200 years from 1526 through the early part of the 18th century. Akbar was the greatest of the Mughal emperors. After his death the sun of the Mughals began to decline. Finally, the Marathas and the British brought about its fall and disintegration. Akbar had died in 1605 and he was succeeded by his son Jahangir. It was under Akbar’s reign that the Mughal Empire reached its greatest heights and glory.
A strong personality and a successful general, Akbar gradually enlarged the Mughal Empire to include much of the Indian subcontinent. His power and influence, however, extended over the entire subcontinent because of Mughal military, political, cultural, and economic dominance.
Akbar, as seen in middle life, was a man of moderate stature, perhaps five foot seven inches in height, strongly built, neither too slight nor too stout, broad-chested, narrow-waisted, and long-armed. His legs were somewhat bowed inwards from the effect of much riding in boyhood, and when walking he slightly dragged the left leg, as if he were lame, although the limb was sound. His head drooped a little towards the right shoulder. His forehead was broad and open. The nose war of moderate size, rather short, with a bony prominence in the middle, and nostrils dilated as if with anger. A small wart about half the size of a pea which connected the left nostril with the upper lip was considered to be a lucky mark. His black eyebrows were thin, and the Mongolian strain of blood in his veins was indicated by the narrow eyes characteristic of the Tartar, Chinese, and Japanese races. The eyes sparkled brightly and were "vibrant like the sea in sunshine.
