Born as Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Khurram on January 5, 1592, in Lahore, Shah Jahan is celebrated as one of the most influential Mughal emperors in India. A member of the Timurid dynasty, Shah Jahan was known for his architectural legacy, his love for Mumtaz Mahal, and his enduring mark on the cultural and political landscape of the Indian subcontinent. His name, which means “King of the World,” certainly captures the grandeur of his reign and ambitions.
