Mughal Art & Architecture in India

Hello Everyone! This is my first blog post! 

I have been photographing for quite a few years now travelling to different parts of the country and documenting the art, architecture, people, etc. I have captured thousands of pictures through all these years. Looking forward to sharing lots of photos with you of my journey and experience through travelling.






A giant Column carved in an intricate ornamentation was Emperor Akbar's seat in his court of Ministers. This column was the first of its kind which held the whole court on its own.



An ornamented window at Fatehpur Sikhri, the first capital of the Mughal Empire in IndiaThese windows added on to the great aesthetics of the place.





An enclosure to keep the tombs for the eternal rest.





Two visitors resting as seen from inside a 
beautifully decorated Mughal Jaali. Mughal Jaalis are predominant in most of the Mughal Architecture. These jaalis with intricate geometric designs 
were carved out very minutely in almost near perfection to block the harsh rays of the sun and 
control the heat.



The incredibly designed ceiling work for the Emperor's palace. Carved out in red sandstone and others colored were added in the form of colorful stones to give a vibrant looks and feel.
