What is Shah Jahan known for?

Shah Jahan, Mughal emperor from 1628 to 1658, is perhaps best remembered for the grand monuments constructed during his reign, especially the Taj Mahal and the Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) in Agra and the Jami Masjid and Red Fort in Delhi. His reign was also notable for successes against the Deccan states in southern India.
