Explanation:

Kings constructed temples to demonstrate their devotion to God as well as their power and wealth. The Rajarajeshvara temple was built by King Rajarajeshvara to worship his god, Rajarajeshvaram. The names of the king and the god appear to be similar in this instance. The king chose the god's name because it was auspicious and he wanted to appear as if he were a god. The largest temples were typically constructed by kings, while the lesser deities in the temples were gods and goddesses of the ruler's allies and subordinates

. He invaded Madurai, the Pandya capital, in order to restore the Buddha's gold statue. Similarly, in the early 11th century, Chola King Rajendra I constructed a Shiva temple in his capital. He stuffed it with prized statues he had taken from defeated rulers. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni not only seized but also destroyed the temples' valuables. He did it to establish himself as a great Islamic hero. Thus, rulers demonstrated their political might and military prowess by attacking and looting defeated rulers' places of worship.

Explanation:

The Yamuna River played an important role in the design of the new Mughal city of Shahjahanabad. Shah Jahan incorporated the river-front garden into the design of the Taj Mahal, his crowning architectural achievement. The white marble mausoleum was built on a terrace near the river's edge, with the garden to the south. This architectural form was created by Shah Jahan to control nobles' access to the river. Only the most favoured nobles, such as his eldest son Dara Shukoh, were granted access to the river. All others had to build their homes in the city, away from the Yamuna.

 b. A group of pietra dura inlays behind Emperor Shah Jahan's throne featured images of the mythical Greek god Orpheus playing the lute. It was thought that Orpheus' music could subdue wild animals until they could live in harmony with one another.

c. Shah Jahan's audience hall was built with the intention of conveying the message that the king's justice would treat everyone equally and foster a society in which everyone could coexist peacefully.

Explanation:

The various components of Mughal architecture were combined into a grand, harmonious synthesis during Shah Jahan's rule. Construction activity peaked during his reign, particularly in Delhi and Agra. Diwan-i-khas and Diwan-i-am, the ceremonial halls for the public and private audiences, were thoughtfully designed. These courts, known as "Chihil Sutun," or forty-pillared halls, were situated inside a sizable courtyard.

The pedestal on which Shah Jahan's throne was set up was frequently referred to as the "Qibla" and the audience halls were purposefully designed to resemble a mosque. These architectural characteristics suggested that the king served as God's earthly representative.

Explanation:

Temples were built as places of worship and are intended to show the patron's strength, wealth, and devotion. The temples contained scale replicas of the world that the king and his allies ruled. For instance, King Rajarajadeva constructed the Rajarajeshvara temple so that his god, Rajarajeshvaram, could be worshipped there. The names of the gods and the kings were typically very similar. The king chose the name of the god because it was fortunate and he wanted to appear to be a deity. Rajarajadeva, one god in the temple, honoured another through the rituals of worship (Rajarajeshvaram).

Explanation:

The Char Bagh Gardens were arranged in four-quarter configurations within rectangular walled enclosures. Because of their symmetrical division into quarters, these gardens were known as "Chahar bagh," or four gardens. There was another version of the chahar bagh garden known as the "riverfront garden," according to historians. This house was near the edge of the chahar bagh, close to the bank of the river, rather than in the centre of the garden.

Pietra dura, coloured hard stones set in depressions carved into sandstone or marble to produce lovely and elaborate patterns. Pietra dura inlays depicting the mythical Greek god Orpheus playing the lute could be seen behind Emperor Shah Jahan's throne. It was believed that Orpheus's music could calm ferocious beasts until they coexisted with humans peacefully.

Explanation:

The architectural "trabeate" principle is distinct from the "arcuate" principle. A horizontal beam was placed across two vertical columns to create roofs, doors, and windows according to the trabeate principle of architecture. However, in the arcuate principle of architecture, arches supported the weight of the superstructure above the doors and windows.

Explanation:

Early in the 11th century, construction began on the Rajarajeshvara temple. Among temples of the era, it had the tallest shikhara. Its construction was a very challenging task. Cranes weren't around yet. It was impossible to lift the 90-ton stone that made up the shikhara's top by hand. As a result, the boulder was placed on rollers, and it was rolled all the way to the top of the temple along an incline that the architects had constructed. In order to avoid being too steep, the path began more than 4 km away. After the temple was constructed, this was taken apart.

Explanation:

temples of the defeated kings were pillaged by King Rajendra I, who also took valuable statues The from them. He used these statues to decorate the Shiva temple that he constructed in his capital at the beginning of the 11th century.

Rajendra I was a contemporary of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. He looted and destroyed the temples of vanquished kings in order to become revered as a great Islamic hero. As a result, Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed the temple that I had built for King Rajendra. Their actions were very dissimilar in this regard.

Explanation:

King Rajendra I pillaged the temples of the vanquished kings and took valuable statues from them. In the early 11th century, he constructed a Shiva temple in his capital and used these statues as decoration.

Rajendra I shared a century with Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. In order to gain recognition as a great Islamic hero, he destroyed and pillaged the temples of vanquished kings. So I built a temple, King Rajendra, and Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed it. They behaved very differently in this regard.

Explanation:

The tomb of Humayun was constructed between 1562 and 1571. Its primary attributes are:

The large central dome and the tall entranceway known as the pishtaq developed into significant features of Mughal construction. In Humayun's tomb, this tomb architecture first became apparent.

The tomb was positioned in the middle of a sizable formal Chahar baghand constructed in the style of the "eight paradises" or hasht bihisht, which features a central hall surrounded by eight rooms.

Red sandstone was used to build the structure, and white marble was used for the edges.

Explanation:

The audience halls for Shah Jahan were purposefully designed to resemble mosques.

Since everyone sat facing that direction when court was in session, the pedestal holding his throne was frequently referred to as the qibla, the direction Muslims face when they bow down for prayer. These architectural features suggested the king as a representative of God on earth. Shah Jahan's audience hall was built with the intention of communicating that the king's justice would treat both the rich and the poor equally, and they will treat them equally  and resulting in a world where everyone could coexist peacefully.

Explanation:

Mughal emperors were adept at incorporating local architectural designs into the creation of their structures. As an illustration, the local rulers in Bengal had created a roof that was intended to resemble a thatched hut. This "Bangla dome" was used in Mughal architecture because the Mughals liked it. Many of the buildings in Akbar's capital city of Fatehpur Sikri exhibit the influence of Gujarati and Malwa architectural styles.

Explanation:

Shah Jahan's diwan-i khas was created in a way that it came together in a grand harmonious synthesis. It was meticulously thought out. It was positioned in a sizable courtyard.

The diwan-e khas was intended to convey that the king's justice would treat both the high and the low as equals, thereby creating a world in which everyone could coexist peacefully. The diwon-i khas reflected an image of a paradise unto itself.
