Q. Which Mughal Emperor transferred the Mughal Capital from Agra to Delhi?
Answer: Shahjahan
Notes: The first Mughal emperor to crown Agra as capital of mughal empire, was Akbar in the year 1526. The capital of mughal empire was changed from Agra to Delhi by Shah Jahan in the year 1638. The key explanation for this was that Agra's streets were becoming too narrow for grand processions and ceremonies, and since Agra had long been the seat of mughal influence, it had become overcrowded.
