The Koh-i-Noor diamond was presented to Shah Jahan by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's father, Emperor Jahangir. It was originally acquired by the Mughal Empire from the ruler of the Golconda Kingdom during Jahangir's reign in the early 17th century. The diamond eventually became part of the Mughal crown jewels and is famously associated with the Taj Mahal, which Shah Jahan commissioned.
