Mariam-uz-Zamani, née 'Rajkumari Hira Kunwari, was a Rajput princess, she was the eldest daughter of Raja Bihar Mal, Raja of Amber, India. She was the senior wife of emperor Akbar who she married in 1562, and mother of emperor Jahangir. Her tomb, built in 1611, is on the Delhi-Agra National Highway, near Fatehpur Sikri. The Mosque of Mariyam Zamani Begum in Lahore, Pakistan was built in her honour.

She was never known as Jodhabai, neither the Akbarnama (a biography of Akbar - commissioned by Akbar himself) or any historical text from the period refer to her as Jodhabai[1], the use of the name Jodhabi appears to have been a 19th century mistake [2].
