Offers a broad reinvestigation of North Indian Muslim architecture through a case study of a desert fortress: Bayana in Rajasthan.
A lavishly illustrated and meticulously detailed record of the historic Bayana region
The architecture and monuments of Bayana in Rajasthan challenge the established view of the development of Muslim architecture and urban form in India. At the end of the 12th century, early conquerors took the mighty Hindu fort, building the first Muslim city below on virgin ground. They later reconfigured the fort and constructed another town within it. These two towns were the centre of an autonomous region during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Going beyond a simple study of the historic, architectural and archaeological remains, this book takes on the wider issues of how far the artistic traditions of Bayana, which developed independently from those of Delhi, later influenced north Indian architecture. It shows how these traditions were the forerunners of the Mughal architectural style, which drew many of its features from innovations developed first in Bayana.
