جبل النور أوكوهِ نور أوكوهينور is a diamond that was mined at Kollur Mine, in the present state of Andhra Pradesh in India. It was originally 793 carats when uncut. Once the largest known diamond, it is now a 105.6 metric carat diamond, weighing 21.6 grammes in its most recent cut state. The diamond was originally owned by the Kakatiya dynasty, which had installed it in a temple of a Hindu goddess as her eye. The diamond changed hands between various feuding factions in the region several times over the next few hundred years. In 1852, Albert the Prince Consort ordered it cut down from 186 carats. Today the diamond is a part of the Crown of Queen Elizabeth (see British Crown Jewels).
التاريخ
استيلاء الفرس عليها
Following the invasion of Nader Shah, the Shah of the Persian Empire, in 1739 and the Battle of Karnal which led to the sacking of Agra and Delhi, the treasury of the Mughal Empire was looted by Nader Shahs army in an organised and thorough acquisition of the Mughal nobilities wealth. Along with a host of valuable items, including the Daria-i-Noor as well as the Peacock Throne, he also carried off the Koh-i-Noor to Persia in 1739. It was allegedly Nāder Shāh who exclaimed Koh-i-Noor! when he finally managed to obtain the famous stone, and this is how the stone gained its present name. There is no reference to this name before 1739.
استيلاء البريطانيين عليها
Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the founder and ruler of the Sikh Empire based in the Punjab region. He willed the diamond to the Hindu temple of Jagannath in Puri, in modern day Odisha, India. However, after his death in 1839 the British East India company did not execute his will. On 29 March 1849, the British raised their flag on the citadel of Lahore and the province of Punjab was formally proclaimed part of the British Company rule in India.
