Question

Describe the feature of the city of the Shahjahanabad

Answer 1

The imperial capital Shahjahanabad was built by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan (162858) between 1639 and 1648 and it spread out over a large area along the banks of river Yamuna in the southeastern parts of the Delhi triangle. The outspurs of the Aravalli range reachingdeep into the great alluvial plains of north India have their terminal point in the Delhi Ridge which afforded natural protection to the city from erosion by the river Jamuna. Thus, heights for commanding positions, rocks for stone-quarries, and the river for water supply were the factors which should have combined to attract Shah Jahan for the creation of his capital city that virtually overlapped the cities of Sher Shah and Firuz Shah. Other reasons for selecting Delhi were that it enjoyed a reputation as the imperial city and served as the capital of the Muslim rulers for about three hundred years. It also acquired an aura of sanctity as a religious centre.
