Shah Jahan period architecture

Shah Jahan's architectural style of the building is India that flourished during the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Taj Mahal in Agra, India is a prime example of this type of architecture. architecture is marked by symmetry and balance between the parts of the building, with white marble become the primary choice of building materials.

Another example of Shah Jahan period architecture found in the Red Fort in Delhi, India. "Hall of Public Audience" and "Hall of Private Audience", which housed the Peacock Throne, two more examples of the architecture of this period.

Under the reign of Shah Jahan, however, there is an emphasis unprecedented in Mughal architecture in a graceful line structure and a harmonious balance between all the parts. Shah Jahan's personal involvement in architecture and urban planning appears to have motivated others, especially high-ranking ladies of the court, to build.
