Shah Jahan ruled the Mughal Empire at its height, his name means 'King of the World' when translated literally from Persian. He, after ruthlessly suppressing his rivals, went onto promote Mughal artistic and architectural achievements to the zenith of their creativity. He is responsible not only for the Taj Mahal - the tomb to his beloved wife Mumtaz - but also for the Pearl Mosque, the Red Fort, Jama Masid in Delhi, the Shalimar Gardens of Kashmir and the priceless Peacock Throne.
