NUR JAHAN
History is witness to many great stories and one such great story is of Mihr-un-Nisa and her love for Jahangir. She was not only beautiful but generous, cultured, educated and intelligent. Jahangir gave her the title of Nur mahal (Light of the palace) and Nur Jahan (light of the world). 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.
