Jahangir died in late 1627 and Shah Jahan ascended to the throne in early 1628. Upon claiming the throne he set about eliminating his chief rivals and imprisoned his step-mother Nur Jahan who was a powerful political influence in the Mughal court. He had his own brothers and nephews executed so that he could rule without having to face any competition.
During his reign he was able to expand the empire considerably. He sent his sons with large armies to conquer territories on different fronts. He annexed the Rajput confederates of Baglana, Mewar and Bundelkhand, and went on to conquer the fortress at Daulatabad, Maharashtra. His son Aurangzeb also added several territories to the Mughal Empire.
Shah Jahan and his sons successfully continued their military campaigns and captured the city of Kandahar in 1638 from the Safavids. This led to retaliation of the Persians, led by Abbas II of Persia who reclaimed the territory after a few years. Even though Shah Jahan was unable to recapture it from the Persians, he was able to expand the Mughal Empire to the west beyond the Khyber Pass to Ghazna and Kandahar.
Famed for aesthetics, Shah Jahan was a patron of arts. During his reign the Mughal Empire was a rich center of arts, crafts and architecture. The emperor’s love for architecture is legendary; some of the nation’s most well-known architectural and artistic accomplishments were undertaken during his reign. The Taj Mahal, the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid in Delhi, and the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore are examples of Mughal architecture that survive to this day.
