Which of the following Mughal emperors shifted the imperial capital from Agra to Delhi and commissioned the construction of the walled city of Shahjahanabad?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Shah Jahan transferred the Mughal capital from Agra to Shahjahanabad in 1648, where he built the majestic Red Fort and the Jama Masjid. This urban foundation served as the administrative heart of the empire for over a century. Akbar had earlier constructed Fatehpur Sikri as his short-lived administrative capital before returning to Agra. Shah Jahan's reign is celebrated as the golden age of Mughal architectural patronage, particularly in white marble.
