Short Note
Solution
Mughal rulers were skilled in adapting regional architectural styles in the construction of their buildings. For example :
- In Bengal, the local rulers had developed a roof that was designed to resemble a thatched hut. The Mughals liked this ‘Bangla dome’ and used it their architecture.
In Akbar’s capital at Fatehpur Sikri, many of the buildings show the influence of the architectural styles of Gujarat and Malwa.
