I. Jahangir was born on 30 August 1569, to Akbar, the Mughal Emperor, and his Hindu wife, Jodha Bai. He

was crowned on 24 October 1605. In the twenty-two years, he was Emperor, till his death on 28 October

1627; he had many battles to fight and many rebellions to suppress. But he always found time for his

greatest hobby-the study of animals and plants. He was an avid bird watcher or an ornithologist as he

would be called now, and a keen naturalist. The care and accuracy with which Jahangir described various

characteristics of animals and birds, their geographical distribution and behavior, would have done credit to

a full-time naturalist. His observations are recorded in his memoirs, the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri.

II. Jahangir had a small zoo and he would spend hours-sometimes days and nights together-on his

observations. For the first time in the history- of ornithology, he noted how sarus cranes mate brood over

their eggs in turn, and how chicks are hatched and taken care of. He also observed one human quality in

this bird: the parents love not only their eggs and chicks but also each other.

III. The Emperor had several famous painters in his court. When he came across a rare animal, bird or plant,

he would instruct an artist to draw it. The painter who excelled in this art was Ustad Mansur. For modern

ornithologists, Jahangir’s collection of paintings provides a strikingly accurate description of the natural

history of the day. Unfortunately, most of these paintings are no longer to be found in India. With the

disintegration of the Mughal Empire, foreign adventures looted this treasure. Most of the paintings were

thus lost.IV. In 1958, a Russian researcher, A Ivanoc, created a sensation when he discovered, a rare portrait of the

dodo, a large non-flying pigeon-like bird, which became extinct about three centuries ago. This portrait was

found in a collection of paintings at the Institute of Orientalists of Soviet Academy of Sciences. There was

no way of identifying the painter, but the style, without doubt was that of Ustad Mansur. Now there is

evidence to show that it was the portrait of Mauritian dodo that was presented to Emperor Jahangir around

1624. Over three centuries after their death, Jahangir and his dodo made a dramatic reappearance in the

world of ornithology!

V. Jahangir also loved gardens, but his dissertations in botany and horticulture were mostly confined to how a

lotus traps hornets or how saffron sprouts from soil. However, he was responsible for the cultivation of high

altitude trees such as the cypress, juniper, pine and Javanse sandal in plains.​
