Q. Highlight the literature, Art, and Architecture that flourished under Akbar (100 words)

Answer 1

Answer:

The art that flourished in the Mughal court, was majorly in the form of book illustrations. These small, highly detailed, and colourful paintings were called miniatures. Hindu literature also enjoyed a revival through Akbar’s time. The poet Tulsi Das, was a contemporary of Akbar’s. He retold the epic love story of Lord Rama and Sita from the fourth century B.C. Akbar devoted himself to architecture too. The style developed under his reign is still known as Akbar period architecture. Its massive but graceful structures are decorated with intricate stonework that portray the Hindu themes. The capital city of Fatehpur Sikri is one of the most important examples of this type of architecture.
