Aurangzeb was more orthodox than his predecessors and devoted much of his reign to prolonged military campaigns in the Deccan, the southern peninsular region of India. These campaigns placed significant strain on imperial resources and administration, contributing to a reduction in large-scale architectural patronage. Aurangzeb largely focused on building mosques such as the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Moti Masjid built within the Red Fort in Delhi.
