Region and Empire
Vijayanagara: The elephant stables at this place were strongly influenced by the architectural styles in the adjoining Sultanates of Bijapur and Golconda.
Vrindavan:
Here temples were constructed in architectural styles which were very similar to the Mughal palaces of Fatehpur Sikri.
When different regions were brought under one large empire this cross-fertilisation of artistic forms and architectural styles took place.
The Mughals & architectural style adaptation
They were particularly skilled in adapting architectural styles in their own building construction. For instance, in Bengal the local rulers had developed a roof that was designed to resemble a thatched roof. This ‘Bangla dome’ was liked by the Mughals to such an extent that they used it in their architecture. The impact of other regions was also noticeable. Many buildings in Akbar’s capital Fatehpur Sikri showed the influence of the architectural styles of Gujarat and Malwa.
In spite of the waning of the authority of Mughal rulers in the eighteenth century, the architectural styles developed under their patronage were constantly used and adapted by other rulers whenever they tried to establish their own kingdoms.
Qutub Minar
Qutab Minar is five storeys high. The first floor was constructed by Qutbuddin Aybak and the rest were constructed by Iltutmish around 1229. It was damaged over the years by lighting and earthquakes. It was repaired by: Alauddin Khalji, Muhammad Tughluq Firuz Shah Tughluq and Ibrahim Lodhi.
