The Koh-i-Noor (Persian for Mountain of Light; also spelled Koh-i-Nûr and Kooh-è Noor) is a large, colourless diamond that was found at Kollur Mine, in the present-day state of Andhra Pradesh, India, probably in the 13th century. It originally weighed uncut. The diamond was first owned by the Kakatiya dynasty, which had installed it in a temple of a Hindu goddess as her eye. It changed hands several times between various feuding factions in South Asia over the next few hundred years, before finally ending up in the possession of Queen Victoria after the British conquest of the Punjab in 1849.
