The Alamgirnama is a historical chronicle commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, detailing his reign from 1658 to 1707. Written by his court historian, Muhammad Azhar, the text provides insights into Aurangzeb's policies, military campaigns, and religious beliefs, while also reflecting the socio-political landscape of the time. The work serves as both a biographical account of the emperor's life and a narrative of the Mughal Empire's complexities during his rule.
