<p>Mogul magic came alive in Toronto over the weekend! Giggling girls in elegant ethnic wear sporting Anarkali caps, posing and pouting next to colourful posters. Men dressed in snazzy summer wear looking pale compared to mogul courtiers parading in ethnic costumes and mojhdis. Royalties lining up in fineries of silk and chiffon, waiting to enter Emperor Akbar’s eloquent darbaar.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Soft beats from music composer Naushad’s love anthem, “Pyaar kiya to darna kya…” playing the background with kathak dancers posing and doing a shy “adaab,” inviting you in. And, in you go. Into the hearts and lives of royalties and commoners from India’s Mughal dynasty. With the rich ambience around, you are transported to the 16th century court of Emperor Akbar, where two courtiers in shining amours and booming voices announce, “Shahehshaon ke shehenshah, Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar tashreef laa rahe hai.” And, if your Urdu is a bit amiss like mine, there are English subtitles on large LED screens to help. Courtesans giggle and scramble to get in line, as the mighty Emperor Akbar takes long, powerful strides to ascend India’s theatrical throne.</p>
