Origin of Indo-Islamic Architecture:
The Muslim rulers were keen to invade India because:
o India was a rich region,
o Had a flourishing international trade
o Had the only known diamond mines in the world.
This eventually led to the formation of the short lived Islamic
kingdom, The Delhi Sultanate over the northern subcontinent
which led to the formation of Muslim empires in the Indian
subcontinent.
The first Indian mosque was supposedly
o built in 629 A.D
o Kerala
Architectural Implications:
The Islamic architecture encompasses a wide range of both
secular and religious styles from the foundation of Islam to the
present day, influencing the design and construction of
buildings and structures in Islamic culture.
The principal Islamic architectural types are:
a.) Mosque
b.) Tomb
Jama Masjid in Delhi
