Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Khurram[3] (5 January 1592 – 22 January 1666),[7] better known by his regnal name Shah Jahan (Persian: شاه جهان; "King of the World"),[8] was the fifth Mughal emperor, who reigned from 1628 to 1658.[9] He is widely considered one of the greatest Mughal emperors; under his reign the Mughal Empire reached the peak of its glory.[10] Although an able military commander, Shah Jahan is perhaps best remembered for his architectural achievements. His reign ushered in the golden age of Mughal architecture. Shah Jahan commissioned many monuments, the best known of which is the Taj Mahal in Agra, which entombs his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. His relationship with Mumtaz Mahal has been heavily adapted into Indian art, literature, and cinema.
