امپراتوری گورکانی هند یا همان ا مپراتوری مغول هند، امپراتوری بزرگی بود که در آن نوادگان تیمور در هندوستان ا ز سال ۱۵۲۶ تا ۱۸۵۷ میلادی در بخش بزرگی از شبهقارهٔ هند، از جمله کشورهای ام روزی هند، پاکستان، بنگلادش و بخشهایی از افغانستان امروزی فرمانروایی میکرد ند. این دوران با دورهٔ فرمانروایی سلسلهٔ صفوی در ایران همزمان بوده است. مط العهٔ دقیق سبک معماری مغول در شبهقارهٔ هند و شباهتهای آن با معماری دورهٔ صفویه در ایران، نشاندهندهٔ تأثیر بسزای فرهنگ و معماری ایران بر سبک جدیدی د ر معماری کشور هند است. در معماری این دو سلسله شباهتهای زیادی در: ۱- عناصر طراحی، ۲- شباهت در مفهوم طراحی و توجه در برنامهریزی، ۳- جزئیات، ۴- تکنیکه ای ساخت، و ۵- هندسه و تقارن وجود دارد که در این جلسه در نگاه کوتاهی به مقای سهٔ آنها خواهیم پرداخت.
A careful study of the Mughal ar
chitectural style in the Indian subcontinent and its similarities with Safa
vid architecture in Iran show the great influence of Iranian culture and ar
chitecture on the new style of Indian architecture.
The Gurkani Empir e of India\, or the Mongol Empire of India\, was a large empire in which th e descendants of Timor ruled India from 5 to 6 AD in large parts of the Ind ian subcontinent\, including modern-day India\, Pakistan\, Bangladesh and p arts of present-day Afghanistan. This period coincided with the era of the Safavid dynasty in Iran. The official language of the Mughal court of India \, Persian language and hence spread Iranian culture and architecture in th e Indian subcontinent. The Mughal Empire of India was dependent on Iranian culture for various reasons and aspects\, for example\, Babur had been livi ng in Iran for many years with Timur's offspring and had spent five years i n exile with his wife in Iran. Jahangir also had an Iranian wife who played an important role in the development of Iranian art and architecture in In dia\, and Arjmand Bano\, wife of Shah Jahan\, was an Iranian prince who pla yed an important role in encouraging Iranian artists to migrate to India to develop Iranian art and architecture.
Iranian culture\, along with I ranian architecture\, created a vast area during the Mongol era in the nort h of India\, culminating in the reign of Akbarshah\, Homayoun\, and Jahangi r. The influence of Iranian architecture can be seen in many buildings of t he conquered Purskari\, Agra and Delhi complexes\, which combine a new styl e into a single structure. In the architecture of this era there are many s imilarities in domes\, columns\, public spaces and interior and exterior de corations with Iranian architecture in the Safavid era. During the reign of Shah Jahan\, a new capital was designed and built by Iranian architects wh o used the Mongol kings of Isfahan during the reign of Shah Abbas as a mode l for the development of their new capital in Delhi.
Iranian artists have introduced new architectural styles in keeping with the Indian climate using local architectural structures whose beautiful examples are visible in castles\, mosques\, tombs of the time. The best example of this masterpi ece is the Taj Mahal in Agra\, which is known as an Iranian spirit in the I ndian body. However\, it should be noted that this cultural influence is no t a constant phenomenon and is a solitary phenomenon.
