	The Reign of Jahangir, 1605-1627
		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 whom he married in 1611.
		Jahangir's love of flowers and animals is reflected in the numerous miniatures painted by artists who shared their master's keen eye for the beauties of wild nature.
		Jahangir was not particularly interested in architecture, but one of the buildings that dates from his reign ranks among the finest achievements of the Mughal spirit.

		The relationship among the three tombs and serai is unique in that it is unmatched by that of other Mughal funerary complexes, where one garden usually dominates the area, and the spatial relationships among gardens are less evident.

		The tomb structure has since been stripped of its stone cladding, and whatever has survived of the garden was irreparably damaged when the British cut a railway line late in the nineteenth century between the tombs of the two siblings.

		However, Jahangir was an indifferent builder and the one major monument he built, his father Akbar's tomb at Sikandra reflects this.
		In fact, the tomb that Jahangir's favourite queen, Noor Jahan, built for her father at Agra, is a far superior monument.

	architectural antecedents - Akbar's tomb at Sikandra
		Akbar's tomb is a medley of architectural styles, displaying more interest in experimentation than harmony of design.
		Based on the pillar and beam principle, the tomb is built like a wedding cake in tiers, using the carved columns and brackets typical of Hindu construction to create the openings on the upper levels.
		Built by Jahangir, the tomb shows far less of the deep figurative stone-carving employed so prolifically at Akbar's Red Fort in Agra, but several of the domes and the arched ceiling of the tomb give a spectacular display of colorful patterns created with the exuberant fluidity that is the mark of Hindu craftsmanship.

		Originally a monopoly joint stock trading company, it grew to being the administrator of the whole of India until, in the wake of the rebellion of 1857, India was made a Crown Colony and the assets of the Company were taken over by the British Government.
		Named (again inappropriately) "Conqueror of the World", Jahangir smoked opium and was into the grog, but was surprisingly effective at keeping things under control, and he found time to lay out a few gardens, including the one where he is buried at Shahdra in Lahore.
