Nur Jahan, also known as the ‘Light of the World,’ was the chief consort of Mughal emperor Jahangir. Renowned for her decisiveness and proactive nature, she wielded unprecedented power and influence, possibly even surpassing that of the emperor himself. Some historians believe she was the true power behind the throne for over a decade. Nur Jahan’s exceptional authority was exemplified by unique honors and privileges bestowed upon her, including the striking of coinage in her name, a privilege not granted to any other Mughal empress.
