Indo-Saracenic architecture

Indo-Saracenic Architecture is a style that emerged in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, blending Indian, Islamic, and Gothic architectural elements. It was primarily used for public buildings, such as railway stations, government offices, and universities, reflecting the colonial period when British influences were prominent. Characterized by intricate details, large arches, domes, and vibrant colors, this style aimed to create a unique identity by combining local traditions with European styles. Notable examples include Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Chennai's Victoria Memorial Hall, showcasing a rich cultural fusion in design.
