Mirza Shahab-ud-Din Baig Muhammad Khan Khurram (5 January 1592 – 22 January 1666), also known as Shah Jahan I, literally 'King of the World', was the fifth Mongol emperor, reigning from 1628 to 1658. Under his reign, the Mongols reached the height of their architectural achievements and cultural glory.

Third son of Jahangir (r. 1605-1627), Shah Jahan participated in military campaigns against the Rajputs of Mewar and the Lodis of the Deccan. After Jahangir's death in October 1627, Shah Jahan defeated his youngest brother Shahryar Mirza and crowned himself emperor in Agra Fort. In addition to Shahryar, Shah Jahan executed most of his rival claimants to the throne. He commissioned many monuments, including the Red Fort, the Shah Jahan Mosque and the Taj Mahal, where his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, is buried. In foreign affairs, Shah Jahan presided over aggressive campaigns against the Deccan sultanates, conflicts with the Portuguese, and wars with the Safavids. He also put down several local rebellions and faced the devastating Deccan famine of 1630–32.

In September 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill and appointed his eldest son Dara Shikoh as his successor. This appointment led to a succession crisis among his three sons, of which Shah Jahan's third son, Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707), emerged victorious and became the sixth emperor, executing all of his surviving brothers, including the Crown Prince Dara Shikoh. After Shah Jahan recovered from his illness in July 1658, Aurangzeb imprisoned his father at Agra Fort from July 1658 until his death in January 1666.[6] He was buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal. His reign is known for putting an end to the liberal policies initiated by Akbar.

During Shah Jahan's era, Islamic revival movements like the Naqshbandi began to shape Mongolian politics.

Muhi al-Din Muhammad (c. 1618 – March 3, 1707), commonly known as Aurangzeb lit. 'Ornament of the throne' and by his royal name Alamgir I, lit. 'Conqueror of the world', was the sixth Mughal emperor, reigning from 1658 until his death in 1707.

Under his reign, the Mongol empire reached its peak with a territory covering almost the entire Indian subcontinent.

Widely considered the last effective Mongol ruler, Aurangzeb compiled the Fatawa 'Alamgiri and was among the few monarchs to fully establish Sharia law and Islamic economics throughout the Indian subcontinent.

Aurangzeb belonged to the aristocratic Timurid dynasty, held administrative and military positions under his father Shah Jahan (r. 1628–1658), and was recognized as an accomplished military commander. Aurangzeb was viceroy of Deccan in 1636-1637 and governor of Gujarat in 1645-1647. He jointly administered the provinces of Multan and Sindh in 1648-1652 and continued his expeditions into neighboring Safavid territories. In September 1657, Shah Jahan appointed his eldest and liberal son Dara Shikoh as his successor, a decision repudiated by Aurangzeb, who proclaimed himself emperor in February 1658. In April 1658, Aurangzeb defeated Shikoh's allied army and the kingdom of Marwar at victory. Aurangzeb's decisive victory at the Battle of Samugarh in May 1658 cemented his sovereignty and his suzerainty was recognized throughout the Empire. After Shah Jahan recovered from his illness in July 1658, Aurangzeb declared him incompetent to rule and imprisoned his father in Agra Fort.

Rattan, a material with extraordinary properties with limits.

Rattan is a vine of the Palm race, which grows in very humid or even marshy Equatorial forests.

With its glass-like siliceous skin, this extremely strong and light vine is particularly resistant to humidity, as are tropical woods, teak or others.

But this resistance has limits. Exposed to rain, rattan resists very well for a whole day or even a few days. But if this rain continues for too many hours, the humidity will gradually penetrate the Rattan, and day after day the material kept wet will end up slowly deteriorating and losing its resistance qualities.

The physical limits of rattan require precautions for use. On the terraces of Parisian cafes, the chairs can last for decades even though they are often in the rain all day for long periods. But they are stacked under cover every evening and can thus dry.

More generally, rattan can withstand rain for long hours without compromising its longevity, but must be able to dry regularly.

In practice, rattan furniture can remain outside throughout the “summer season”, the weather is hot and rather dry, continuous rains exceptionally last more than three or four days and Rattan withstands such rain without deteriorating.

But as soon as the season advances, the temperature drops, and there is a lot of condensation and humidity, the Rattan will gradually become humid, with long, heavy rains accentuating this deterioration. In practice, these are sensitive situations at the seaside.

It is then imperative to place the seats under shelter, a ventilated shelter to avoid progressive humidification as soon as the “bad season” arrives, in practice from mid-October to mid-March for a continental climate.

The alternative if you want to use your rattan furniture all year round is to put it under cover every day, every evening, as the Parisian terraces do.

In summary, 2 main principles to respect:

During the winter season (October 15 to March 15 in Europe) in all climates: furniture must be stored “dry”. It can, however, be left outside during the day, but must be kept dry overnight.

During the “summer season”, the rest of the time, Rattan can remain permanently outside.

However, if there is lasting rain, you should only leave the Rattan in this rain for two or three days at most, before putting the furniture in a dry place so that it can dry. Only take it out once the rain has stopped (In any case, a terrace cannot be used in the rain).
