    The Akbarnama was commissioned by Akbar the Great, the third Mughal Emperor, reigning from 1556 to 1605, as a history of his reign. It was written in Persian and illustrated by 49 artists. The music is from Nand Kalyan (vilambit ektal), from Ustad Munir Khan’s Classical Sarangi Music.

    Mansur was active from 1590-1624 in northern India, working under the sponsorship of the Mughal emperor Akbar, and then under his son, Jahangir. Many of the birds and animals that he painted were brought as gifts to the emperor, and Mansur memorialized them, something incredibly useful since the Dodo became extinct within the next century. Music is from Rageshri (vilambit ektal / drut teental), from Ustad Munir Khan's Classical Sarangi Music. End pieces are Wild Animals and the People Who Love Them and Secondhand News for Star Trek's Kirk and women.
