Indian princess. Lalla Rookh means Tulip Cheek; flourished in the 1600s; supposed daughter of Aurangzeb (1618–1707), Mughul emperor (r. 1658–1707).
Lalla Rookh was the supposed daughter of Aurangzeb, the last great Mughul emperor of India, who had nine children with his harem of four wives (which included Udaipuri Bai ). As presented in the 1817 poem Lalla Rookh by Thomas Moore, Lalla Rookh was betrothed to Aliris, sultan of lesser Bulcharia. On her journey from Delhi to Cashmere, she was entertained by Feramorz, a young Persian poet, with whom she fell in love. Lalla Rookh was delighted when she learned that the young poet was the sultan to whom she was betrothed.
