The Peacock throne studded with jewels belonged to the Mughal emperors of India.

It was commissioned in the early seventeenth century and was located in the Diwan-i-khas at Red Fort by Shah Jahan. It took seven years to build the throne completely with solid gold, precious stones and pure pearls. This throne costed twice as much the cost of building Taj Mahal.

Originally this throne was known as Takht-murassa meaning the bejewelled throne.

It was innaugurated in a ceremony on 22nd March, 1635.

In 1739, the original throne was captured and taken in war by Persian emperor Nadir Shah, and has been lost since.
