Islamic architecture in India

Islamic architecture in India is distinguished by grand mosques, tombs, and forts that combine Persian, Turkish, and local Indian styles. It features large domes, intricate calligraphy, ornate arches, and geometric patterns. Notable examples include the Taj Mahal with its white marble and symmetrical design, and the Red Fort with massive walls and detailed ornamentation. This style reflects religious devotion, cultural synthesis, and the historical influence of Muslim rulers in India, creating structures that are both functional and aesthetically expressive, blending spiritual symbolism with artistic craftsmanship.
