Shah Jahan is best remembered for his contribution to the world of architecture, the Taj Mahal – one of the Seven Wonders of the World, which he built for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, in Agra.
Even though he was the fifth child of Jahangir, Shah Jahan made his presence felt with his superior fighting skills and training. His father often sent him on military campaigns, even as a young child.
Shah Jahan won a number of battles for his father and was conferred the title of Shah Jahan or ‘King of the World’.
While walking through the bazaar, Shah Jahan who was only 15 then, spotted a beautiful young girl who went by the name, Arjumand Banu. Shah Jahan was captivated by her beauty and begged his father to allow him to marry her. Jahangir refused, and married him off to a Persian Princess.
Shah Jahan never gave up on his first love. He courted Arjumand Banu for five long years until his father gave in. The two finally got married and had fourteen children together, one of them being Aurangzeb, the future King.
A few years later, Jahangir’s health deteriorated. His sons fought over the throne, until Shah Jahan took over. On ascending the throne, he gave his wife a new title – Mumtaz Mahal or ‘The Chosen One of the Palace.’
Shah Jahan’s reign was a happy and prosperous one. It was an era of riches and the most precious of stones were mined from India’s soil which could fill up trunks with emeralds, sapphires, rubies, diamonds and all sorts of other treasures.
Shah Jahan was very wealthy and with it he built a number of palaces and mosques spread across the country. An inscription in gold on his throne reads ‘If there be a paradise on Earth, it is here.
