Catherine B. Asher, "Architecture of Mughal India (The New Cambridge History of India)"
Cambridge University Press | 402 pages | 1992-09-25 | ISBN: 0521267285 | PDF | 36.5 MB This book traces the development and spread of architecture under the Mughal emperors. Professor Asher considers the entire scope of architecture built under the auspices of the imperial Mughals and their subjects. She looks in particular at the role of political and cultural ideology, the relationship between construction in the major cities and in the provinces and the continuing Mughal fascination with paradisical imagery that culminated in the construction of the Taj Mahal. |
