Tughlaq architecture
Tughlaq architecture refers to the distinctive style of buildings constructed during the Tughlaq dynasty in India (1320-1414). This style blends Islamic and Indian architectural elements, characterized by grand structures made from local stone and bricks. Notable features include simple yet massive forms, intricate carvings, and the use of large domes and arches. Important examples include the Tughlaqabad Fort and the Firoz Shah Kotla. Tughlaq architecture emphasizes functionality and strength, reflecting the dynasty's military prowess and ambition, while also laying the groundwork for future architectural developments in India.
