The architecture created in southern Asia under the patronage of the great Mughals (1526-1858) is one of the richest and most inventive of the Islamic area, including such world famous buildings as the Taj Mahal in Agra or the tomb of Humayun in Delhi, the palaces and mosques in Agra, Delhi, Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore. All buildings types are considered, not only the well known masterpieces but also country houses, hunting palaces, gardens, mausoleums, mosques, bath houses, bazaars and other public buildings. Many of these are still unknown even to specialists. The unique book, covering the whole range of Mughal architecture and including numerous new photographs and detailed plans presents the results of the author's extensive field work in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh as well as Iran and the central Asian region of the Soviet Union. The author's in-depth knowledge of the original sources provides the reader with invaluable background information.

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.

The city of Lahore, one of the seats of the Mughal Empire, is regarded as the cultural centre of Pakistan and is famous for its many old monuments. However, the informed visitor or student has long felt the absence of a reliable volume on its architecture. Dr Rahmani's book resolves that issue. Diligently researched, it deals with the history and architecture of old monuments in Lahore, especially of the Mughal period., The topic is rich in terms of the variety of building types and the book covers a period of several centuries. The study has been organized chronologically, highlighting locations, significance, history, architecture, and the current condition of each monument. It also discusses the architectural and aesthetic influences, both foreign and local, and contains a comprehensive statement of achievements of particular epochs. For determining the architectural merit of specific monuments, a comparative approach has been adopted. At the end of the book, there is a chapter pertaining to analytical study of monuments in a historical perspective. The old theories regarding origin and nomenclature have been updated in the light of fresh research. The study, based on 33 years of personal observation by the author, also utilizes both published and unpublished sources, and official records.

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.
