WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nur Jahan’s architectural contributions include the merging of Persian and Indian styles. She had a discriminating eye and was married to a man who was equally appreciative of, and sensitive to, aesthetic appeal. Nur Jahan’s name is attached to two magnificent buildings: the tombs of her father and of her husband.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nur Jahan, born Mehr-un-Nissa (c. 1577 – 18 December 1645), was the chief wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir and is regarded by some historians as the true power behind the throne for much of her husband’s reign. Nur Jahan was the most popular Mughal Empress.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nūr Jahān, original name Mehr al-Nesāʾ, (born 1577, Kandahār [now in Afghanistan]-died 1645, Lahore [now in Pakistan]), de facto ruler of India during the later years of the reign of her husband Jahāngīr, who was emperor from 1605 to 1627. She achieved unprecedented political power for a woman in Mughal India.

Detailed explanation-4: -Over a period of time, Nur Jahan became ambitious and tried to dominate, which resulted in a breach between her and Shah Jahan, and that this drove Shah Jahan into rebellion against his father in 1622. It was the time when Shah Jahan felt that Jahangir was completely under Nur Jahan’s influence.
