Mughals

The Mughals were a prominent empire in South Asia, particularly in India, from the early 16th to the 19th century. Founded by Babur in 1526, they are known for their rich culture, architecture, and contributions to art and literature. The Mughal Empire reached its height under rulers like Akbar, who promoted religious tolerance and administrative reforms. The famous Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan, symbolizes their architectural brilliance. The empire eventually declined due to internal strife and colonial pressures, but its legacy remains significant in Indian history and culture.
