Explanation:

Tuti-nama is considered to be the first work of the Mughal School. Tuti-Nama literally means the “Tales of a Parrot”. It is an illustrated compilation of 52 stories in 250 miniature paintings. The work was commissioned by Akbar. The themes and stories are derived from the 12th century Sanskrit anthology titled Sukasaptati or “Seventy Tales of Parrot”. The parrot tells the 52 stories in the consecutive 52 nights and in these stories he teaches some moral stories to his owner. The work was completed in a span of five years under Mir Sayyid Ali and Abdus Samad. The text was written by Nakhshabi, an ethnic Persian physician and a Sufi saint who had migrated to Badayun. It was written in Persian.
