Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moghul Colour Decoration of Agra, Vol. 1: Described and Illustrated Below the building is a crypt the walls of which were at one time coated with glazed tiles. The edifice is built of brick and the whole of the exterior is faced with glazed tiles commonly called china, worked up into numerous patterns. It is from this circumstance that it derives its name chini-ka-rauza, or the tomb (coated) with china. Of its kind the mausoleum is unique, being about the only building in Northern India entirely ornamented exteriorly with enamelled tiles. The greater part of the south facade has fallen disclosing the fact that the half domes over the vestibules in the centre of the facades leading into the cenotaph chamber are constructed, like many of the ancient dome buildings in Egypt and Rome, of large earthen pots embedded in concrete.

Excerpt: ...for filling up the wall recesses in the KhwabgahatFathpur Sikr i--the small unpretentious apartment in which Akbar was wont to spend most of his time when at his summer capital. Similar designs are met with in Chinese work, and it is.not impossible that some of the workmen employed on the decoration of the h i n i-k a-R a u z a came from China or Japan, or more probably the designs travelled from China into Persia and from thence to India. The pattern is composed entirely of straight bars placed at right angles to each other so as to form a number of square and oblong spaces which are alternately filled in with white and red tiles, the divisional bars being in blue. Up the centre of the panel is a bar corresponding with the meeting rail of a casement window and its face is ornamented with V shaped tiles laid alternately in green and yellow courses. Surrounding the lattice is a field of green tiles, inlaid with conventionally treated flowers in various bright colours. The field is edged with very narrow blue tiles, worked into the shape of an arch over the top of the lattice. Enclosing this again is a rectangular frame in very narrow blue tiles, and the spandril pieces between it and the arch are laid with dark gamboge tiles set in which are delicate floral scrolls, the colours harmonizing with the flowers surrounding the lattice within. Plate XXIX shows the panels marked E on the north elevation, below and over the blind window just described. The designs of the flowers are more realistic than many of the others. The pattern upon the upper of the two panels may be intended for a lily, whilst that upon the lower was probably meant to represent a passion flower, It should be mentioned that in this...

Download or read book Akbar the Great Mogul, 1542-1605 written by Vincent Arthur Smith and published by . This book was released on 1917 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Akbar the Great Mogul, 1542-1605 is a biography of Akbar I (reigned, 1556-1605), the third and greatest of the Mughal emperors of India. The author, Vincent Arthur Smith, was an Irish-born historian and antiquary who served in the Indian Civil Service before turning to full-time research and scholarship. After assuming the throne while still a youth, Akbar succeeded in consolidating and enlarging the Mughal Empire. He instituted reforms of the tax structure, the organization and control of the military, and the religious establishment and its relationship to the state. He was also a patron of culture and the arts, and he had a keen interest in religion and the possible sources of religious knowledge. The book traces Akbar's ancestry and early years; his accession to the throne and his regency under Bayram Khan; his many conquests, including Bihar, the Afghan kingdom of Bengal, Malwa, Gujarat, Kashmir, Sind, parts of Orissa, and parts of the Deccan Plateau; and his annexation of other territories through diplomacy, including Baluchistan and Kandahar. The book devotes considerable attention to Akbar's religious beliefs and interests. On several occasions Akbar requested that the Portuguese authorities in Goa send priests to his court to teach him about Christianity, and the book recounts the stories of the three Jesuit missions organized in response to these requests. By origin a Sunni Muslim, Akbar also sought to learn from Shiʻite scholars, Sufi mystics, and Hindus, Jains, and Parsis. The last four chapters of the book are not chronological but deal with the Akbar's personal characteristics, civil and military institutions in the empire, the social and economic conditions of the people, and literature and art. The book contains a detailed chronology of the life and reign of Akbar and an annotated bibliography. Also included are maps and illustrations. Maps of India in 1561 and India in 1605 show the extent of Akbar's conquests, and sketch maps illustrate his main military campaigns.

Excerpt: ...amongst the Orientals, which we should study to imitate, if not copy. It is not for Europeans to establish schools of art, in a country the productions of whose remote districts are a school of art in themselves, far more capable of teaching than of being taught.' "It is a rare pleasure to the eye to see in the polished corner of a native room one of these large turquoise blue sweetmeat jars on a fine Kirman rug of minium red ground, splashed with dark blue and yellow. But the sight of wonder is, when travelling over the plains of Persia or-India, suddenly to come upon an encaustic-tiled mosque. It is coloured all over in yellow, green, blue, and other hues; and as a distant view of it is caught at sunrise, its stately domes and glittering minarets seem made of the purest gold, like glass, enamelled in azure and green, a fairy-like apparition of inexpressible grace and the most enchanting splendor. "In giving the following receipts of the different preparations used in enamelling Sindh and Panjab pottery, it is as well to say that they are of little practical value out of those countries. It will be noted that a great deal is thought, by the native manufacturers, to depend on the particular wood, or other fuel used, in the baking, which, if it really influences the result, makes all attempts at imitating local varieties of Indian pottery futile. "In the glazing and colouring two preparations are of essential importance, namely kaneh, literally glass, and sikka, oxides of lead. In the Panjab the two kinds of kanch used are distinguished as Angrezi kanchi, 'English glaze, ' and desi-kanchi, 'country glaze.' " The ornamental designs are either painted on off-hand, or a pattern is pricked out on paper, which is laid on the...
