 Major Mughal contribution to the Indian subcontinent
was their unique Architecture.
 Many monuments were built by the mughal emperors
Especially Shah Jahan
 Some of them are the world famous Taj Mahal, Fatehphur
Sikri , Red fort, Agra and many more.
This art of painting developed as a blending of
Persian and Indian ideas. There was already a
Muslim tradition of miniature painting under
the Sultanate of Delhi which the Mughals
overthrew. Although the first surviving manuscripts
are from Manu in the years either side of 1500,
there were very likely earlier ones which are either
lost, or perhaps now attributed to southern Persia,
as later manuscripts can be hard to distinguish from
these by style alone, and some remain the subject of
debate among specialists. By the time of the
Mughals invasion, the tradition had abandoned the
high viewpoint typical of the Persian style, and
adopted a more realistic style for animals and
plants.
