Darshan
Jahangir was famous for his "Chain of Justice". In contemporary paintings it has been shown as a golden chain with golden bells. In his memoir Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri he has written that he ordered the creation of this chain for his oppressed subjects to appeal to the emperor if they were denied justice at any level. British ambassador to Mughal court, Thomas Roe, describes how petitioners could use the chain of justice to attract the emperor’s attention if his decision was not to their satisfaction, during "Darshan". "Darshan" tradition was adopted by Mughal emperors from Hindu religio-political rituals as a theatrical event before their subjects.
