After Aurangzeb’s rule was established, Roshanara was still afraid of the implications of her actions and asked Aurangzeb to build a palace for her away from the walled city.
She decided to stay away from politics which was getting dangerous and uncertain.
Roshanara chose to spend an esoteric life in her palace in Delhi, surrounded by a thick forest.
She never married and lived in her palace till the end of her life.
Aurangzeb arranged for his sister to be discretely poisoned.
She died in great pain, ' swollen out like a hogshead, leaving behind her the name of great lasciviousness'.
Her palace in the middle of the Roshanara garden is a reminder of the crucial role she played in the history of India.
She died at the age of 54.
Aurangzeb had her interred in the Roshanara Bagh, a garden that she had designed and commissioned herself.
