answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Shah Jahan was known as the ‘Engineer King’ because the Mughal architecture reached its peak under him. The Taj Mahal built by him is counted among one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Apart from it, he built Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) and built the famous Red Fort. He built the Jama Masjid which is the largest mosque in India. Pearl Mosque is considered one of the most perfect buildings built by Shah Jahan. He also laid down several gardens. The Peacock Throne made of gold and rare precious stones was also made under his supervision.
