Various influences on something of the Persian and Hindu

There is the existence of various influences of the Persian and Hindu architecture in the Mughal architecture. The trabeate stone construction, shallow arches made out of corbels rather than voussoirs and richly ornamented carved piers and columns are some typical Hindu features that have been incorporated in the Mughal architecture. Other constructions like the chhatris- a domed kiosk resting on pillars, chajjas and jarokhas- a projecting balcony supported on corbels with a hood resting on columns became a part of the Mughal characteristics. Extensive use of tile work, the iwan as a central feature in mosques, the charbagh or garden, divided into four and the four-centrepoint arch and the use of domes are the features borrowed from the Persian architecture.
