Monuments of the great dynasty of the Mughals

The Mughal state was well aware of the declamatory power of architecture and used it as a means of self-representation and an instrument of royalty, write scholars Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom (1994). The most remarkable monuments of the great dynasty of the Mughals included:

1-Humayun's tomb at Delhi

2-the tomb of Khan-i Khanan in south Nizamuddin

3- the Red Fort at Agra

4- the mausoleum of Akbar at Sikandara outside Agra

5-the tomb of Jahangir at Shahdara across the Ravi from Lahore

6- the tomb of Itimad al-Dawleh at Agra

7-the Taj Mahal at Agra; the tomb of Aurangzeb's wife at Aurangabad

8- and the Nawab Safdar Jang's tomb at Delhi.
