About the Book

This is an anthology of my twenty-one research paper which was originally published in 1976 and is long out-of-print. While they deal with obscure or little known aspects of Mughal Architecture, they also define various phases of the growth and development of this art from Babur to Shah Jehan (1526 to 1658 A.D.) . They elucidate the builder's personality and, at the same time, provide an appraisal of the tastes and beliefs of the contemporary people. The historical fact is that the stamp of an age and its trends and currents are writ large on its architecture and if the language of the stone is deciphered, architecture can be a veritable source of History, in many respects much more important than contemporary and later contemporary historical chronicles, literary sources and travelogue. It can speak unadulterated truth of the PAST.This volume affords study of this art which ultimately developed to the status of a National style, and the various inspirations which went into its making. Without Vastu - texts of their own, the Mughals were able to build such wonderful (adbhut) buildings as the Taj Mahal, the like of which could not be produced in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran or in any other Islamic country. This shows the extent to which the indigenous art - traditions of the country participated in the formative process.Mughal Architecture is a vast subject and a life-time is not enough to cover the whole of it. Present volume is just a modest instalment by way of introduction of its few aspects. Much yet remains to be done.The work has been adequately illustrated by text figures (drawings) and plates.
