Description
An introduction to the Mughal Empire in India and a timeline of Mughal history, from 1483 to 1857. The Mughal Dynasty began ruling in India during the sixteenth century. The Mughals brought the Islamic religion and Persian culture to India. Among the most outstanding Mughal emperors were Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, and Aurangzeb. Akbar and Shah Jahan were the innovators who developed the style known today as Indo-Islamic art, a blend of India's native style and that of the newcomers. This book focuses on some of the Indo-Islamic works designated as World Heritage sites, including the Fort of Lahore, the Shalimar Gardens and the historic monuments of Thatta in Pakistan and Fatehpur Sikri, the Taj Mahal, and the Red Fort of Agra in India.
