As Public Works (Roads-And-Sarais), Gardens And Garden-Pavilions, Palatial Mansions And Shikargahs, Picture Wall Of Lahore Fort And Tombs, Each In A Separate Chapter. It Covers 43 Monuments, Extending From Kabul To Allahabad, And Kashmir To Burhanpur, And The Scope Of This Volume Is Much Wider Than The Earlier Ones.That Public Works As Roads, Kos-Minars, Bridges, Sarais, Wells, Baolis And Porters Walls Were Built And Maintained At Government Expense Testifies That The; Mughal State Was Fully Alive To The Welfare Of Its Subjects. Four Masonry Bridges Have Been Specifically Studied. Jehangir Was Greatly Interested In Gardens, And Garden-Craft Received A Distinct Form Under His Patronage. Palaces Were Built Amidst Gardens, Mostly On The Riverbank, With Characteristic Idioms Of The Age. A Unique Building Complex, Which Developed Under Him, Was Shikargah (Hunting Lodge) And Four Representative Examples Have Been Studied. The Glazed-Tiled Picture Wall Of The Lahore Fort Is Unique In Respect Of Its Scale, Scheme And Subjects. Originally, It Covered An Immense Mural Area 500 Yards In Length And 16 Yards In Height, By An Ingenious System Of Panelling Which, Besides Stylized Florals, Arabesques And Geometricals, Depicted Beautiful Figurative Compositions. Architect, Potter, Painter And Glazed-Tiler Collaborated On This Grand Project Which Has No Parallel In The World.Domeless Tomb With A Barahdari With Chaukhandi Roof Or A Plain Chabutarah Was Also A Unique Growth Of This Age And The Most Notable Tombs Of This Class, As Those Of Akbar, I Timad-Ud-Daulah And Jehangir, Have Been Studied In Detail. Development Of Such Distinctive Architectural Features As Dado , Gateway And Minar Also Belongs To This Period, During Which Unprecedented Emphasis Was Given On Ornamentation, Which Is Why This Art-Epoch Is Noted For Colour And Design . This Study Has Been Made In The Context Of, And With Reference To, The Cultural Milieu Which Produced It And This Is Not Only A History Of Jehangir S Architecture But Also A History Of Jehangir S Age And History Of Jehangir S India. It Is A History Of Those Tender Feelings, Sublime Thoughts And Subtle Ideas Which Go To Make A Civilization, Not Of Those Political Intrigues And Feuds, And Military Conflicts Which Destroy It.

Download or read book History of Decorative Art in Mughal Architecture written by Ajay Nath and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present work is an intensive study of the origin and development of the ornament in Mughal Architecture. It is the 'beautiful' which is most distinctive characteristic and the dominating theme of this style and it is this which primarily occupied contemplation of Mughal Builders. This 'beautiful' has not appeared in the Mughal Monuments unconsciously or by chance; this has been brought about with greatest amount of thought and planning through various means and methods.The Mughal Architects from Akbar to Shah Jehan worked out the minutest details of the structure and the surface which he intended to adorn. Mughals adopted almost all the decorative schemes, designs and motifs which were then known in the Orient. They used arch and dome, and also pillars, strut, chhatri and kalasa; inscriptions in Naskhi and Nastaliq characters, arabesque, stalactite and geometricals and also animate designs composed of hastin, makara, hansa, and mayura and symbolic motifs of the ancient Hindus such as kalasa, padma, gavaksa, kirttimukha, svastika, cakra and satkona - to quote some examples of his choice of ornament - is representative of lucid skill and amazing capacity to accept, adopt and assimilate.This book explains scores of obscure and controversial points and corrects the popular misnomers; it brings to light facts which were not known, e.g. the use by the Mughals of fabulous animals, Tantric symbols and Chinese Cloud forms to quote only a few examples. Study of this aspect of Mughal Architecture would help us to present the History of our Medieval culture in its true spirit and correct perspective.This title was published in 1980 and it is its updated second edition.

Download or read book History of Mughal Architecture written by Prof R Nath and published by . This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being the first volume of R.Nath's monumental 4-volume series: 'HISTORY OF MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE', the present work covers monuments of Babur (A.D. 1526-30) and Humayun (1530-40, 1555), and, stylistic study as it is, includes those which were built in the predecessor style during the early reign (1556-1570) of Akbar. It is thus an enumeration of the style in its formative period. A detailed historical background deals with the Medapata-Gopadri-Agra connection, identifying the sources of the inspirations of this art and establishing its link with the soil on which these medieval relics stand. Every attempt has been made to illustrate the various hypotheses raised in the text and also to provide texts and epigraphs (in Sanskrit and Persian for example) and other relevant evidence therewith.Though based on a lifetime's study, fully documented and detailed, the author does not claim it to be the last word on the subject; on the other hand, this is a beginning. The second volume, dealing with the Personality Architecture of the classical age of Akbar, e.g. the Mughal monuments of Agra and Fatehpur Sikri, will appear in due course.

Book excerpt: "By the 18th century, the Mughal Empire was well beyond its so-called golden age. Its control of the Indian subcontinent was increasingly threatened by regional Indian states, as well as by the encroaching British Empire. In response to a rapidly changing sociopolitical landscape, the Mughal emperors used architecture to harness their illustrious past and stage cultural authority for contemporary audiences. Chanchal Dadlani provides the first in-depth look at this crucial period of architectural history. Discussing a rich array of built forms and urban spaces - from grand imperial mosques to Delhi's bustling thoroughfares - the volume sheds light on long-overlooked buildings. It also explores representations of architectural monuments that circulated in the form of building plans, manuscript paintings, and postcards. Ultimately, the book reveals how Mughal architects, artists, and patrons built on the cultural legacy of their imperial predecessors to create the very concept of a historical style identifiable as Mughal--Publisher's description.
