Geometric Patterns in Mughal Architecture: Under a Quantitative Lens

Mughal architecture, exemplified by Humayun's Tomb and the Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah, demonstrates a sophisticated integration of geometric patterns that serve both decorative and symbolic functions. These intricate designs, analyzed quantitatively, reveal a seamless blend of mathematical precision and creative ingenuity, reflecting the cultural values and scientific accomplishments of the Mughal Empire. The study highlights how basic shapes were transformed into complex patterns, offering new insights into the technical foundations of Mughal architectural traditions.
