Nawabi Era

The Nawabi Era refers to a period in Indian history when local rulers, known as Nawabs, governed regions with significant autonomy under the Mughal Empire or during its decline (18th-19th centuries). These Nawabs were known for their cultural patronage, luxurious lifestyles, and political influence. The era is marked by a blend of Mughal traditions and regional characteristics, shaping art, architecture, and societal norms. It represents a time of regional consolidation, cultural richness, and evolving governance, before the British East India Company and later the British Crown established direct control over India.
