Indo-Islamic Architecture
Indo-Islamic Architecture is a style that emerged in the Indian subcontinent during the rule of various Islamic dynasties, particularly from the 12th to the 17th centuries. This architectural style blends elements from Islamic architecture with local Hindu and Rajput traditions, resulting in unique structures characterized by intricate carvings, large domes, and expansive courtyards.
Notable examples of Indo-Islamic Architecture include the Taj Mahal, a symbol of love built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, and the Qutub Minar, a towering minaret in Delhi. These structures showcase the fusion of artistic styles and engineering techniques, reflecting the cultural diversity of the region.
