Mariam-uz-Zamani (Persian: ???? ????????, lit.
'Mary of the Age'), (c.
1542 – 19 May 1623) was a wife of the Mughal emperor Akbar.
She has also been referred to by several other names, including Hira Kunwari, Harkha Bai and Jodha Bai.Born a Hindu-Rajput princess, in 1562, Mariam-uz-Zamani was offered in marriage to Akbar by her father, Raja Bharmal of Amber.
The wedding, held in Sambhar, was a political one and was a sign of complete submission of her father to his imperial overlord.
Her marriage to Akbar led to a gradual shift in his religious and social policy.
She is widely regarded in modern Indian historiography as exemplifying Akbar's and the Mughal's tolerance of religious differences and their inclusive policies within an expanding multi-ethnic and multi-denominational empire.She was to become the mother of Akbar's eldest surviving son and eventual successor, Jahangir.
