Lodi Architecture
Lodi Architecture refers to the distinctive style of buildings and structures that emerged during the Lodi Dynasty in India, which lasted from the early 15th to the early 16th century. This architectural style is characterized by the use of red sandstone, intricate carvings, and large domes. Notable examples include the Sikandar Lodi Tomb and the Jama Masjid in Delhi, showcasing a blend of Islamic and local architectural elements.
The Lodi period marked a transition in Indian architecture, moving towards more elaborate designs. The structures often feature spacious courtyards, high ceilings, and decorative motifs, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time. This style laid the groundwork for later developments in Mughal architecture, which further evolved these design principles.
