Mark Twain once quoted about the antiquity of the city highlighting the inefficiency of the people to gauge its actual age. The city has served as a cradle to the languages, arts, culture, education and above all religion in the purest of form possible.

In stark contrast, Mughal King Akbar contributed in restoring the city to its earlier glory which was continued by Rajput and Maratha kings later despite Auranzeb s anti-Hinduism attitude. Sant Kabirdas, Haridas and Tulsidas are also known for their contribution in terms of evolving the religious spirit through Bhakti Movement.
