Rajput Architecture is a distinctive style that emerged in the Indian subcontinent, primarily during the reign of the Rajput kings from the 7th to the 19th centuries. This architectural style is characterized by its grand palaces, forts, and temples, often built with intricate carvings and vibrant frescoes. The use of local materials, such as sandstone and marble, adds to the unique aesthetic of these structures. The design of Rajput buildings often reflects a blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural elements, showcasing features like ornate jharokhas (overhanging enclosed balconies) and chhatris (elevated dome-shaped pavilions). Notable examples include the City Palace in Udaipur and the Amber Fort in Jaipur, which highlight the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of the Rajput era.
