Abstract Up to now, our perception of Nur Jahan has been filtered through the eyes of others. With her artistic achievements, however, we are able in a manner unlike any other to touch her personality unrefined by secondary receivers. In the architecture she designed and patronized and in the gardens she laid out, for example, we are as near as we will ever be to her own voice and vision. Many noblewomen of Nur Jahan’s era had both the time and money to invest in the arts, as well as the technical advice and personal authority with which to plan and carry out their own projects. Of these women, those of the Jahangiri generation were certainly among the most prolific, and of these, it was Nur Jahan who made the contributions best known to history.
