Tag: Mughal Architecture Characteristics

The Mughals were a powerful dynasty that built not only the Taj Mahal, but dozens of other incredible buildings throughout India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The Mughals combined Islamic and Hindu Architecture and paired it with materials like red sandstone and white marble. The Mughals built mosques throughout every major city in their empire, constructed a network of fortifications to protect their borders, and left behind massive tombs and monuments to show off their wealth. Today the Architecture of the Mughal Empire is one of the most influential styles from the Indian Subcontinent, and several Mughal Buildings are among the region’s most visited attractions.
