Raja Man Singh I was the Chief of Staff of the Mughal Army. He was born in December of 1550, 8 years younger than Emperor Akbar. Akbar was married to Singh’s aunt, which some people believe is one of the reasons he was chosen for the court. By 1589, Singh I was in charge of 5,000 soldiers. This responsibility was increased to 7,000 soldiers in 1605, the highest rank anybody could achieve except for the son of the Emperor. Interestingly, Emperor Akbar referred to Raja Man Singh I as “son”. He led the Mughal Army against the Rana Pratap in the Battle of Haldighati of 1576.
Singh I went on to become the governor of the states of Jharkhand, Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar in 1594. He served for 3 terms, during which he commissioned the construction of a palace, a mosque, and a fort. Perhaps his most famous architectural achievement is the Krishna temple, which stands at 7 floors high in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. Today, this temple stands at 4 stories.
