Shah Jahan's rule was the zenith of Mughal architectural brilliance. His architectural advancements and constructions left a Mughal imprint on the countries of India and Pakistan.

The Taj Mahal, which was one of Shah Jahan’s architectural accomplishments, brings a lot revenue for the government of India. Just the tickets alone gathered Rs.19,89,49,560 for the year of  2010-2011. Shah Jahan impacted India’s economy today by creating many architectural wonders such as the Taj Mahal,  the Red Fort of Delhi, Jama Masjid of Delhi, Section of Agra Fort, the Wazir Khan Mosque and the Moti Masjid in Lahore, Pakistan are some examples of great monuments and great tourist attractions that still create revenue for the government of India and Pakistan.

    Being the great military leader he was, Shah Jahan was able to capture the Deccan states of Southern India, thus influencing the Southern (specifically Andhra Pradesh and Orissa and other areas of the Deccan Plateau) to be influenced by the Mughal empires which can be easily identified with the cuisine of Andhra Pradesh which has been influenced by typical food of Andhra and the Mughal cuisine. The Mughal rule is also evident through the number of Muslims that are present in Andhra Pradesh (specifically Hyderabad). Shah Jahan was able to spread Islam and Mughal culture throughout India and not just in the Northern parts of India acquiring many Muslim converts for the religion.
