Indo-Islamic Style of Architecture

A new style of architecture developed during the Sultanate period. It is known as the Indo-Islamic style of architecture. Skilled architects from Turkey and Persia were brought to India for the construction of different structers. The indigenous sculptors, labourers, and masons also joined them. The Indo-Islamic style evolved out of the amalgamation of the styles of both the groups.
