Why did Shah Jahan start wearing glasses after Mumtaz's death?
Whenever someone has to give an example of love in the world, the taj mahal comes first to the tongue. This building, one of the seven wonders of the world, was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz. He loved mumtaz so much that he died while visiting the taj mahal and later both of them were buried together in the Taj Mahal.
Although the stories of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's debauchery are very famous. He was a king who liked pomp and splendor, but historians write that as long as mumtaz Mahal was alive, Shah Jahan remained completely devoted to her. Even after mumtaz Mahal's death, Shah Jahan remained lost in her memories, so much so that he even started wearing glasses after Mumtaz's death. Let us know why the Mughal emperor needed to wear glasses after Mumtaz's death.
Mumtaz's death had a bad effect on Shah Jahan
mumtaz died in Burhanpur on june 17, 1631 while giving birth to her 14th child. This had a very bad effect on Shah Jahan. According to BBC report, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's court historian Inayat Khan has described this incident in his book 'Shahjahannama'. He writes that after Mumtaz's death, Shah Jahan became so sad that he did not come out of his room for a whole week. He even stopped coming to the court. He even started wearing white clothes on Wednesday, because mumtaz died on Wednesday.
Eyes became weak due to crying
Historian Inayat Khan further writes that Mumtaz's death had such a bad effect on Shah Jahan that his beard suddenly started turning white. Before this, only a few hairs of his beard used to turn white. Emperor Shah Jahan's eyesight became weak due to the constant crying of grief due to Mumtaz's death, due to which he was forced to wear glasses.
