Indo-Saracenic Revival

The Indo-Saracenic Revival was an architectural style that emerged in British India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It combines elements of Indian, Mughal, and Islamic architecture with Victorian and Gothic styles brought by the British. This style was used for government buildings, railway stations, and monuments, symbolizing a blend of colonial and local cultural identities. Its features include domes, arches, minarets, and intricate decorative patterns, creating a grand and ornamental appearance that pays homage to Indian heritage while reflecting colonial power.
