This period covers the era of Babur’s son Humayun and grandson Akbar. During this period, a number of skirmishes over the Mandir-Masjid dispute are reported. During Akbar’s time (1556-1605), a chabutra (platform) is constructed in front of the mosque and handed over to Hindus., with the royal order that Hindus shouldn’t be stopped from performing puja on this chabutra.
