The practice of Tuladan and Jharokha Darshan was banned by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, as he considered it a non-Islamic practice, a form of idol worship. Tuladan is the practice of weighing the emperor in Gold and Jharokha Darshan was a daily practice of addressing the public audience (darshan) at the balcony (jharokha) at the forts and palaces of the emperor. Both the practices were started by his great grandfather Mughal emperor Akbar.
