The marriage ceremony took place on the throne, and Tavous Khanum became his favourite wife. Due to her name, the throne later received the misnomer "Peacock Throne" (Persian: تخت طاووس, Takht-e Tāvūs).[1] It was also theorised that parts of the plundered Mughal Peacock Throne were re-used, such as the legs or other parts, however no conclusive proof exists. Nevertheless, in a metonymic sense, the term "Peacock Throne" also referred rhetorically initially in the West to the institution of the Persian monarchy.
