Art and Architecture in Jahangir Reign

Architecture under Jahangir








Under Jahangir (r. 1605 - 1627), Mughal architecture became more Persian than Indian. 





His great mosque at Lahore is a great example of the Persian style and is covered with enameled tiles. 






At Agra, the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula, completed in 1628, was built entirely of white marble and decorated in elaborate pietra duramosaic.
