Mughal Empire

The Mughal Empire was a powerful and influential dynasty that ruled much of India from the early 16th to the 19th century. Founded by Babur, it is known for its stunning architecture, such as the Taj Mahal, and for promoting a rich cultural blend of Persian, Indian, and Islamic traditions. The Mughals established a centralized administration, improved trade, and encouraged the arts and literature. At its height, the empire was renowned for its wealth and power, significantly shaping India's history, culture, and society before weakening and eventually falling under British colonial rule.
