The Planetary King: Humayun Padshah, Inventor and Visionary on the Mughal Throne

The Planetary King follows Humayun's travels and campaigns during the early sixteenth century, delving into his extraordinary social and intellectual life.

The book demystifies his magico-scientific worldview, highlights his involvement in literature, poetry, painting, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, and occultism, and offers a new analysis of Humayun's mausoleum.

It includes hundreds of beautifully reproduced photographs and illustrations and accompanies the new site museum at Humayun's tomb, a World Heritage Site.
