This Mughal jewel was costlier than Taj Mahal

The Peacock Throne of the Mughal Empire, commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan, surpassed the Taj Mahal in cost and magnificence. Crafted over seven years with unparalleled craftsmanship, it dazzled with precious stones, including the famed Koh-i-Noor diamond. Captured in 1739 by Persian invader Nader Shah, its fate remains a mystery, lost during later conflicts. Despite its disappearance, the throne's legacy as a symbol of imperial grandeur and artistic mastery endures in history.
