Difference between the architecture of Delhi sultanate and mughal empire
Answered by admin @
New styles and techniques were introduced by the Turks and
Afghans during the Sultanate period. These were fused with the existing Indian
styles as a result the Indo-Islamic style of architecture came into being. The
buildings had arches and domes. There was no need for pillars to support the
roof. In the beginning, half domes were built. Later they started making full
domes. Some buildings had minarets. Most of the structures were built with red
sandstone. Later they used stone and covered it with plaster. Floral and
geometric designs were carved on the walls. Sometimes verses from the Quran
were engraved.
The Mughal architecture was more grand and
magnificent. There was a fusion of Persian, Central Asian and regional styles. Under
the rule of Shah Jahan there was emphasis on uniformity and symmetry. Along with
red sandstone, white marble was used to construct buildings. Walls were
decorated with precious and semi-precious stones. This was known as pietra-dura.
The buildings had multiple columns, curved roofs, big and small arches. The full
domes and minarets continued. The walls were decorated with floral motifs and
verses from the Quran.
