An Indian manuscript in Urdu script dating from the late 1700s to mid 1800s with many paintings in vivid colors telling about the story of Shah Jahan, who married an Indian bride named Mumtaz Mahal.

Shah Jahan later became famous for his love tale with Mumtaz Mahal and his ultimate creation named, Taj Mahal, which he built for his beloved wife. She was born Arjumand Banu;( 27 April 1593 – 17 June 1631) and was the Empress consort of the Mughal Empire from 19 January 1628 to 17 June 1631 as the chief consort of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.

The Taj Mahal in Agra, often cited as one of the Wonders of the World, was commissioned by her husband to act as her tomb to tell the world how beautiful she was.
