Abstract:
This chapter unfolds the unique Muslim architectural technique as evident in mosques like Zuma Masjit, Qadam Rasul and Balu Bazaar. The difference between Hindu and Muslim styles of architecture was clearly marked. The Hindu temple had a sacred chamber, icons, carved figures, spires, etc, with a trabeated construction method. On the other hand, the mosque facing the direction of Mecca and encompassing a rectangular open space employed the accurate method. There were no idols or images as it was prohibited in Islam. There were true arches, tiles, painted plaster, tiles, calligraphy, arches and domes. Apart from mosques, there were tombs and secular structures like forts, palaces, gardens and pavilions.
