Shah Jahan: The Emperor Who Built the Taj Mahal and Lost Everything

Everyone knows the Taj Mahal as one of the greatest monuments of love. But Shah Jahan’s story did not end with white marble. Behind the beauty was grief. Behind the grief was a dynasty turning against itself. And behind the Taj Mahal’s perfect symmetry was an emperor who would spend his final years imprisoned by his own son. This is the darker story of Shah Jahan, Mumtaz Mahal, Aurangzeb, Dara Shikoh, Jahanara Begum, and the Mughal Empire. A story of love, death, marble, succession, betrayal, and a prison inside Agra Fort. This is Empire of Shadows, a cinematic dark history series by Sibylla Veil.
