Answer 2

Fatehpur Sikri's architecture was influenced by the styles of Gujarat (option b)

• Gujarat architectural features greatly inspired the design of the Fatehpur Sikri.
• This is because local artisans from the Malwa, Gujrat region were outsourced by the Emperor Akbar with regards to the construction of the monument.
• The monument showed off over half a thousand buildings of masonary after the remarkable designs of Gujarat.
• Gujarati artisans/sculptors had an expertise in wooden architecture/sculptures which is visible even today in the red sand stone buildings at Fatehpur Sikri.
• The Sikri also reflected the similarities between itself and the Islamic monuments in Gujarat.

Some of the Buildings with Gujarati influence are:

1. Stone Cutter's Mosque
2. Jami Masjid
3. Tomb of Shaikh Salim Chisti
