Hindu-Islamic Architecture
Hindu-Islamic Architecture refers to the architectural style that emerged in India during the period of Islamic rule, particularly from the 12th to the 17th centuries. This style is characterized by the fusion of traditional Hindu architectural elements, such as intricate carvings and ornate pillars, with Islamic features like domes, arches, and minarets.
Notable examples of this architectural blend include the Qutub Minar and the Taj Mahal. These structures showcase the harmonious coexistence of both cultures, reflecting a unique aesthetic that combines religious symbolism and artistic expression from both Hinduism and Islam.
