Synopsis

Aimed at the non-specialist traveller, this book provides an introduction to architectural styles in many different parts of the world and concerns the wealth and splendour of the Mughals - the Islamic dynasty which governed much of India in the 16th and 17th centuries. The achievements and personalities of the individual emperors are described including Babur, great gardener, the warrior Akbar and Shah Jahan, builder of the incomprable Taj Mahal. Against this background the genesis and evolution of the architecture is explained taking in the most spectacular sites in Delhi, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri and the important works outside these three main centres, such as the Shalimar Bagh, the famous garden of Srinigar in Kashmir and Sher Sher's tomb in Bihar.
