Answers
Answer:
the image formed by mistakely
Answer:
During Shah Jahan's reign, the different elements of Mughal architecture were fused together in a grand harmonious synthesis. The ceremonial halls of the public and private audience (diwan-i khas or aam) were carefully planned. These courts were also described as chihil sutun or forty-pillared halls, placed within a large courtyard. The general public was received here and their grievances heard.
Shah Jahan’s audience halls were specially constructed to resemble a mosque. In the centre of the hall was placed the peacock throne on which Shahjahan would sit and preside over the meetings.
The pedestal on which his throne was placed was frequently described as the qibla which means the direction in which Muslims pray as everybody faced that direction when court was in session. The stream of paradise would flow through the centre of the Diwan-i-khas and the arches at the corner of the hall bore inscriptions from the lines of the famous 9thcentury Persian poet Firdausi.
The idea of the king as a representative of God on earth was suggested by these architectural features.
Therefore, by the means of architecture style, this image was created.
