Roshanara Begum (3 September 1617 – 11 September 1671) was a Mughal princess and the second daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Roshanara was a brilliant woman and a talented poet.
She was a partisan of her younger brother Aurangzeb and supported him during the war of succession which took place after Shah Jahan's illness in 1657.
After Aurnagzeb's accession to the throne in 1658, Roshanara was given the title of Padshah Begum by her brother and became the First Lady of the Mughal Empire. Today, however, Roshanara is best known for the Roshanara Bagh, a pleasure garden located in present-day north Delhi.
The present-day Roshanara Club which was constructed in the late 19th century by the British is a country club that was actually originally a part of the Roshanara Bagh.
