In this video, we take a close look at the royal seal of the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar. At first glance, it may look like a piece of art, but look closer and you will find his entire bloodline traced back through time.
From the center where Bahadur Shah Zafar’s grand title sits, we trace the names outward, through the powerful reign of Akbar, back to the founder Babur, and even further to the man where it all began: Amir Timur.
