Jawhar Aftabchi (Persian: جوهر آفتابچی) was a aftabah-bearer and servant of the Mughal Emperor Humayun.
He was a loyal servant of Nasiruddin Muhammad Humayun and stayed with him during both the periods of his glory and decline.
Jawhar's journey began as an employee in the royal stable, and he later served Humayun for an extended period in the role of Aftabah (ewer-bearer).
Humayun greatly appreciated this ethical and humanitarian action and promoted Jawhar, appointing him as the treasurer for the provinces of Punjab and Multan.
[1] There is no confirmed record of Jawhar Aftabchi's date of death, but it is known that he was alive during the reign of Emperor Akbar (Humayun's son).
