The Taj-ul-Masajid (“crown among mosques”) is the largest mosque in India. It was built in the early 19th century by the order of Nawab Shah Jahan Begum – the wife of Baqi Mohammad Khan. After her death, her daughter Shahjehan Begum continued the mosque’s expansion. Interestingly, this period coincided with the rise of a succession of women rulers of Bhopal who lorded over a patriarchal society. They were known as the “Begums of Bhopal”, a dynasty of powerful women: Qudsia Begum, Sikandar Begum, Shahjehan Begum and Sultan Jahan Begum.
