Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Jharokha Darshan was introduced by the Mughal Emperor Akbar as part of his daily routine. The practice involved the emperor appearing at a small balcony (jharokha) facing east at sunrise to show himself to the public. The objective was to broaden the acceptance of imperial authority and create a direct bond between the ruler and his subjects, including soldiers, merchants, and commoners.

  • Kornish was a form of ceremonial salutation where the palm was placed on the forehead and the head was bent.
  • Sijda (prostration) and Zaminbos (kissing the ground) were extreme forms of salutation. While Akbar accepted various forms of court etiquette, Jharokha Darshan is the specific routine innovation most famously attributed to him in historical texts like the Ain-i-Akbari and NCERT.
