Jahangir laid out the Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar, Kashmir, in 1619 for his wife Nur Jahan. He famously called Kashmir 'Paradise on Earth'.

Pietra Dura (Parchin Kari) involves inlaying semi-precious stones like lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz into white marble to create floral or geometric designs.

The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (Nur Jahan's father) in Agra is the first Mughal structure built entirely of white marble and extensively used the Pietra Dura technique.

Abul Hasan was one of Jahangir's favorite painters, known for his portraits, and was bestowed the title 'Nadir-uz-Zaman'.

Ustad Mansur was famous for his detailed and realistic studies of natural history, including birds (like the Siberian Crane) and animals.

Jahangir was a great connoisseur of art, and Mughal painting reached its zenith during his reign, moving from manuscript illustration to individual portfolio paintings.

Unlike Babur, who wrote in Chagatai Turkish, Jahangir wrote his memoirs in Persian, which was the court language of the Mughals.

Jahangir wrote his own memoirs known as 'Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri' (or Jahangirnama), detailing his reign, observations on nature, and administration.

The conquest of the impregnable Kangra Fort in 1620 was a major military achievement of Jahangir, something Akbar had failed to do.

The loss of Kandahar to the Persian Shah Abbas I in 1622 was a significant blow to the Mughal Empire's prestige and strategic defense.
