Download or read book Muslim Architecture of South India written by Mehrdad Shokoohy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 360 pages.

For the first time a detailed survey of the Muslim monuments of the historic ports and towns demonstrates a rich and diverse architectural tradition entirely independent from the better known architecture of North India and the Deccan sultanates.

This period, encompassing some four hundred years, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, was endowed with an abundance of religious and royal monuments which remain as testimonies to the history and ideology behind their evolution.
