Prince Salim (afterwards the Emperor Jahangir as a young man, 1630. 青年のころのサリム王子。後のシャハンギール皇帝。
Jahangir was the father of Shah Jahan, the greatest ruler of the Mughal Dynasty. When Jahangir died in 1625, the young Shah Jahan built Jahangir's tomb on the site of an existing garden laid out by Jahangir's wife Nur Jahan(Light of the World). The building is symmetrical, set amidst a 4-part garden (chahar-bagh) that recalls the paradise of the Islamic afterlife. The tomb itself is located at the center of the building. The marble cenotaph is decorated with floral designs and inscribed with calligraphy of the 99 names of God.
Calligraphy of the 99 names of God as mentioned in the Q'uran コーランに書かれている99の神の名が書かれている。
Jahangir lived under the spell of personalities that were more colorful than his own; the most influential of these personalities was the beautiful Nur Jahan(Light of the World) whom he married in 1611. Nur Jahan then became the real ruler of the empire until the death of her husband Jahangir. Nur Jahan's niece would win immortality as Mumtaz Mahal, the woman in whose honor the Taj Mahal was built. ジャハンギールは、彼よりも多彩な人々に魅せられた。なかでも最も影響力があったのは、彼が1611年に結婚した美しいヌル・ジャハーン(世界の光)でした。ヌル・ジャハーンは彼女の夫ジャハンギールの死まで帝国の実際の統治者になりました。ヌル・ジャハーンの姪は、タージ・マハルを捧げられた女性、ムムターズ・マハルとして不朽の名声を得ました。
