The Taj Mahal, commissioned by Shah Jahan, represents the zenith of Mughal architecture, with perfect symmetry, a central double dome, four minarets, and a refined decorative program. Shah Jahan’s other notable project was the city of Shahjahanabad, a major capital distinguished by its formal urban planning, integration of ceremonial, residential, and commercial spaces, and monumental architecture, including the expansive and opulent citadel of the Red Fort and the grand Jama Masjid of Delhi.
