Question

Read the paragraph and answer the questions.

In the Taj Mahal, the hierarchical use of red sandstone and white
marble contributes manifold symbolic significance. The Mughals were elaborating on a
concept which traced its roots to earlier Hindu practices, set out in the Vishnudharmottara
Purana, which recommended white stone for buildings for the Brahmins (priestly caste) and
red stone for members of the Kshatriyas (warrior caste). By building structures that employed
such colour coding) the Mughals identified themselves with the two leading classes of Indian
social structure and thus defined themselves as rulers in Indian terms. Red sandstone also had
significance in the Persian origins of the Mughal Empire, where red was the exclusive colour
of imperial tents.
