The correct answer is option 2, Persian invader Nadir Shah. In 1739, Nadir Shah, the ruler of Persia, invaded India and captured Delhi. As part of the spoils of war, he took away the famous Peacock Throne of Shah Jahan. This magnificent throne was made of gold and adorned with precious gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. It was known for its opulence and beauty. Nadir Shah looted many other valuable items from India before returning to Persia. Although the answer provided is generally correct, it is worth noting that Chengiz Khan, the Mongol invader mentioned in option 3, existed much earlier in history and did not have a direct connection to the Peacock Throne.
