Nur Jahan was the twentieth and last wife of the Mughal emperor Jahangir and was considered by historians to have been the real power behind the throne for much of her husband's reign who was emperor from 1605 to 1627.

Nur Jahan was born Mehr-un-Nissa, the daughter of a Grand Vizier, Mirza Ghias Beg, who came to the sub-continent during the time of the Mughal emperor, Akbar, and entered into his service.

Nur Jahan became the most prominent empress of the empire, and the only Mughal empress to have a coin struck in her name. She was also the only empress to have commanded such honour from the emperor. Nur Jahan is also known for her bravery and weapon-wielding skills.

As a patron of arts and architecture, Nur Jahan commissioned many famous structures and edifices.

Nur Jahan was actively involved in the development of the empire and displayed aspirations to political power

Nur Jahan also had the power to issue orders. In fact, she is the only Mughal empress to have issued a decree known as ‘Nishan,’ a privilege reserved strictly for the male members of royalty.

During Jahangir’s reign, she became the power behind the throne, the only Mughal empress to have enjoyed such a privilege. Nur Jahan also possessed great administrative skills and bravery. Apart from hunting down ferocious animals like tigers, she also used her bravery to defend the Empire’s borders at the time of Jahangir’s absence.

She was also known for her ability to lead armed forces whenever required.
