Dara Shikoh
Dara Shikoh, a patron of the arts, was said to be a fine painter, and many of his works, when criticized, were considered to be almost of a professional standard. Some of his works were collected and gifted to Nadira Banu, his "dearest intimate friend" and it was a token of her affection for him that she cherished it until her death when it went on display at a museum. The album has now become famous as the "Dara Shikoh Album".
