EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Emperor Shah Jahan of India (1592-1666), the Mughal ruler renowned for constructing the iconic Taj Mahal in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631). Circa 1620, the photograph captures the royal couple in their traditional Indian attire, exuding an aura of regal grandeur and timeless love. Emperor Shah Jahan, dressed in rich, intricately designed robes, adorned with precious stones and embroidery, sits majestically on a throne. His turban, a symbol of his imperial power, is adorned with precious jewels and embellishments. His piercing gaze and stern expression reflect his strong leadership qualities. Beside him, Mumtaz Mahal, his favorite wife, is depicted in a resplendent red lehenga choli, a traditional Indian outfit, adorned with gold and precious stones. Her head is adorned with a heavy, jeweled headpiece, signifying her royal status. Her serene expression and gentle smile convey her inner beauty and grace. The couple's deep connection is palpable, making this photograph a poignant reminder of their enduring love story. When Mumtaz Mahal died in childbirth in 1631, Shah Jahan was devastated. In her memory, he employed an estimated 20,000 craftsmen to construct the Taj Mahal, the magnificent mausoleum located in Agra, India, between 1630 and 1653. This architectural marvel is a testament to Shah Jahan's unwavering love and devotion to his wife.
