Qutb Shahi Architecture
Qutb Shahi Architecture refers to the unique style of architecture developed during the rule of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in the Deccan region of India from the 16th to the 17th centuries. This architectural style is characterized by a blend of Persian, Indian, and Islamic influences, evident in the intricate carvings, domes, and arches found in structures like the Gol Gumbaz and Charminar.
The use of local materials, such as granite, and the incorporation of water features, like tanks and gardens, are notable aspects of this architecture. The Qutb Shahi tombs, with their grand domes and elaborate decorations, serve as significant examples of the dynasty's architectural legacy, reflecting their cultural and artistic achievements.
