Jama Masjid at Agra

The Jama Masjid, or chief mosque, at Agra was erected by the Emperor Shah Jahan, A.D. 1644. It was built in the name of his daughter Jahanara, who afterwards devotedly shared her father’s captivity when he was deposed by Aurangzeb. She is buried in Delhi; her cenotaph is of pure white marble, with only a little grass growing at one end of the slab. A Persian inscription records the last wish of this devoted lady: “Let no rich canopy surmount my grave. This grass is the best covering for the tomb of the poor in spirit, the humble and transitory Jahanara, the disciple of the holy men of Chisht, the daughter of the Emperor Shah Jehan.” The splendid Jama Masjid at Agra is the public memorial of this Princess, whose modest grave lies near Delhi.
