Indo-Islamic Art

Indo-Islamic art refers to the diverse artistic styles that emerged in India under Islamic rule, blending Islamic and local Indian traditions. Beginning in the 12th century, this art form is characterized by intricate patterns, calligraphy, and architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal and intricate forts. It includes various mediums such as painting, textiles, and metalwork, often featuring themes of nature, spirituality, and royalty. The fusion of Persian influences with indigenous styles created a unique visual language that enriched Indian culture, reflecting both Islamic ideals and the subcontinent's rich heritage.
