Special to the tribune
Meet Daria-i-Noor, the Koh-i-Noor’s little-known sibling
Details of a sister diamond to the famous Koh-i-Noor (Mountain of Light in Persian) have been found in documents from 1840 discovered by The Tribune. Like its well-known sibling, the Daria-i-Noor (Ocean of Light) was quarried from Andhra Pradesh’s Golconda mines before it was acquired by a succession of royal rulers, including Maratha kings, Nawab Sirajul Mulk of Hyderabad and Nadir Shah of Persia. And again, like the Koh-i-Noor, the Daria-i-Noor was later acquired by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and became part of his famous Toshakhana (treasury).
