Akbar built the Ibadat Khana at Fatehpur Sikri in 1575 as a ‘House of Worship’ where he convened inter-faith debates with scholars of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, etc. Thus it was a hall for discussions with scholars of various religions, not merely a mosque, private prayer room, or nobles’ meeting room.
