It is constructed of sandstone in five segments. It is now located in Mehrauli Archaeological park, Delhi. 

The first Delhi Sultanate was founded in 1206 by Qutb-ud-din-Aibak of the Slave Dynasty Under his rule, a large mosque with a huge minaret was built, which was called Quwwat ul-Islam. This mosque used Jainism and Indian religion buildings, and was reused in the construction of this mosque. This tower is too way to tall, it expresses power and political authority rather than being traditionally used to summon Muslims to pray.]]> 2022-07-12 03:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241491492 selinazzeng https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241513674 This architecture is now located in Hampi, India. It was built in the 15th Century CE.

This structure displays a variety of forms. There are Islamic-inspired architectural forms and components throughout South India. The structure exhibits the racial and religious variety of the city's population. Because they served both ceremonial and military purposes, elephants were positioned in the court in a spectacular manner. These huge animals can fit inside the arch and dome of this structure. This structure's distinctiveness can be attributed to the way it was designed, which shows how the court accepted foreign concepts.

In textbook it stated that "The most spectacular structures of the era were monumental, with a complexity and grandeur of proportion rarely equaled even in later Indian art." Indian temples started to emerge about this time as Hindu sects gained more and more followers. There are roughly 900 finely crafted regional styles included in the construction plan from wealthy benefactors. These enormous temple structures have a distinctive architectural style for that time period since they are more modest in scale and feature more embellishment.These unique architectural styles are like what the story of india: freedom said, people have the ability to preserve their talents, but they introduce and integrate the discoveries of other civilizations, and India has always been able to do this.]]> 2022-07-12 03:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241513674 selinazzeng https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241535900 This painting is from the Akbarnama. Painted with opaque watercolor on paper. The height of this painting is around 37.5x25cm. It is designed by Tulsi Kalan. It is now located in Victoria & Albert Museum, London. 

Muhammad Zahir-ud-Din was the first Mughal emperor of India, and like many Delhi sultans, he originated from Central Asia.As the third ruler, Akbar extended control to northern India.

Most Indian paintings from before the 14th century were either on walls or palm leaves. In the centuries that followed, Indian artists created works on paper with jewel tones after adopting Persian painting techniques at roughly the same period in Europe and India. The events that lead to the creation of Fatehpur Sikri are depicted in this picture along with the emperor's accomplishments. The pictures in this text that document Akbar's oversight of the architecture at Fatehpur Sikri are the most fascinating. Akbar's enthusiasm for painting established a regal tradition that his successor fervently perpetuated.

This architecture was built by Shah Jahan. It is during the Mughal period. Now located in Agra, India. 

Shah Jahan won many military and political victories and his famous building is the Taj Mahal. This building effectively aroused his personal loss and imperial power, which is the most powerful place of this building. Taj Mahal, this peerless building full of spatial beauty, originated from an unremitting love. Shah Jahan became sorrowfully after his wife Taj died in childbirth. Shah Jahan found a world-famous designer and craftsman, determined to build a world-wide unique mausoleum for his beloved. Indian famous poet Rabindranath Tagore once described the Taj Mahal as "A teardrop on he Cheek of Time". This quote by Rabindranath Tagore is like a metaphor phrases saying that eternity is what we expect, but a tear on the cheek of eternity is the most beautiful, attentive and painful crystallization.

In the textbook that illustrated that "In Shah Jahan’s time, fruit trees and cypresses—symbolic of life and death, respectively—lined the walkways, and fountains played in the shallow pools. Collectively these features evoked paradise on earth." This passage tells us how detailed the design is in this tomb. The pool of Taj Mahal gives the whole building a reflection. Mughal court poet Kalim takes the vault of the building as a contrast with the sky, because its outline gives an Islamic four part garden of paradise when it reflects in the water. The characteristic of Islamic paradise garden is that there is a central waterscape and water is the most important element in the garden which without water, life cannot exist.]]> 2022-07-12 04:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241558115 selinazzeng https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241623710 Each royal family is ensconced in a magnificent architectural environment, much as each Rajput court has its own distinct painting style. However, at that time, Maharana Udai Singh II relocated the capital of the Mewar kingdom out of Chittor after the town was looted by the Mughal army under Akbar. Normally, the royal family built these palaces on top of mountains with strategic significance and gradually expanded them over several generations. The Mewar kings expanded the city after determining that this new position was better to defend.]]> 2022-07-12 05:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/selinazzeng/l25io8ipzy7yudks/wish/2241623710
