Manavati Bai, also spelled Manvati Bai, (13 May 1573 – 8 April 1619), better known by her title, Jagat Gosain (lit.'Saint of the World'), was the second wife and the empress consort of the fourth Mughal emperor Jahangir and the mother of his successor, Shah Jahan.[1][2]
She is also known as Mani Bai,[3][4]Manmati,[5][6]Jodh Bai (lit.'Princess of Jodhpur'),[7][8]Taj Bibi[9] (lit.'Lady of the Crown') and was also given the posthumous title of Bilqis Makani (lit.'Lady of the Pure Abode').[10][11] She was also wrongly referred to as Balmati Begum by Manrique.[12][13] She should not be confused with her mother-in-law, Mariam-uz-Zamani, who was erroneously called as "Jodha Bai" by European historians since any daughter belonging to the Jodhpur region could be called Jodha Bai or daughter of Jodhpur region.[14]
By birth, she was a Rajput princess of Marwar (present-day Jodhpur) and was the daughter of Raja Udai Singh (popularly known as Mota Raja), the Rathore ruler of Marwar and the full-sister of Sawai Raja Sur Singh, another Rathore ruler of Marwar and Maharaja Kishan Singh, founder of Kishangarh.[15][16][17]
