'''Akbari Fort & Museum''' is a museum In [[Ajmer]]. It was once the residence of Prince [[Jahangir|Salīm]], the son of the Emperor [[Akbar]], and presently houses a collection of Mughal and [[Rajput]] armor and sculpture. Construction of this had been commissioned by Akbar in 1570. This is the location from where Salim, as the Emperor [[Jahangir]] read out the [[firman|farmân]] permitting the [[British East India Company]] to trade with India.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.rajasthangk.net/2013/05/akbar-ka-kila-ajmer-akbars-fort.html|title=Akbar Ka Kila , AJMER|last=|first=|date=2013-05-02|website=www.rajasthangk.net/|publisher=www.rajasthangk.net/|access-date=2016-03-17}}</ref><br />
