Answers
Explanation:
The European Influence on India!
The Europeans who came to India for trade established their settlements at various places.
In these settlements they built European style houses, besides the factories.
When their foothold became strong, they began to construct more durable structures such as strong imposing churches.
In the second-half of the 19th century, some of the European builders in India tried their best to combine elements and features from Indian and Western architecture. The pioneer of this movement was a civil servant, F. S. Growse.
The Museum at Jaipur and the Moor Market in Madras (now, Chennai) are examples of this type of architecture. Sardar Ram Singh, a master builder of Punjab, designed the Central Museum and the Senate House at Lahore (in Pakistan). G. Wittet designed the Gateway of India in Mumbai, borrowing several elements of Mughal style.
