Emperor Akbar, known for his righteousness and his search for the truth, was one of the greatest Mughal rulers of India. With the help of his trusted advisor, the brilliant Birbal, he made sure that justice always prevailed. Tales of Akbar and Birbal are full of humour. They show Birbal using his wit and intelligence to provide justice to the people who come seeking him for help. He also uses his intellect to amuse the emperor, or calm him down when he is angry.
