Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal are historical figures from the Mughal era in India.

Shah Jahan, whose full name was Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Khurram, was the fifth Mughal Emperor, who reigned from 1628 to 1658. He is best known for his architectural achievements, the most famous of which is the Taj Mahal, a mausoleum he commissioned in the memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
