Jahanara Begum Sehib (April 2, 1614 - September 16, 1681) was a Mughal princess and the eldest daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan by his chief consort, Empress Mumtaz Mahal. After her mother's death in 1631, Jahanara became the First Lady (Padshah Begum) of the Mughal Empire despite the fact her father still had three other wives. Like many women born into the Emperor's family, she never married.
