During the 16th and 17th centuries, Mughal architecture dominated India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. This style is influenced by Islam, Persia and India and the remaining buildings are some of the most beautiful in all of India.
The above is a detail of the Taj Mahal.
Much of the Mughal architecture can be found throughout Rajasthan, in Western India.
Many of these buildings include delicate stain glass windows that catch your eye.

I love old palaces and old architecture in general, but mughal is even more special. Thanks for posting these.

These are beautiful pictures. Certainly something you don’t come across here much.

Yes, the delicate stained glass – the colors, depth & lines – did indeed catch my eye!

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures. They are so inspiring to go and see a part of the world that fascinates me but have not yet visited.

Wow-that’s a really different type of stained glass window than I’m used to seeing. Really beautiful!

The Mughal architecture in India is stunning. One of my favourites is Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh – an amazing place.
