Character description

Description

Dai Dilaram Dai Dilaram nursed Nur Jahan as an infant, and stayed with the empress all through her life, becoming prominent as a harem officer. No records give specifics of her life and therefore it cannot be determined with certainty whether she left Iran at the same time as Asmat and Ghiyas and helped with Nur's birth on the way. Dilaram, variously called Dai Dilaram and Dilarani in historical records, became the superintendent of the female servants of the palace during Nur and Jahangir's co-sovereignity, although no date for this appointment is to be found in the records. (Biographical details are given only as far as the reign of Jahangir and Nur Jahan. Empress : the astonishing reign of Nur Jahan by Ruby Lal (2018))
