Badshahi Mosque Print

Badshahi mosque is one of the few significant architectural monuments built during Emperor Aurangzeb's long rule from 1658 to 1707. Although it was built late in the Mughal era in a period of relative decline, its beauty, elegance, and scale epitomize Mughal cultural achievement like no other monument in Lahore, Pakistan. The design and architecture of Badshahi Mosque was inspired by Islamic, Central Asian, Persian, and Indian architectural designs. The design of Badshahi Mosque is nearly similar to Jama Mosque of Delhi which was constructed by Aurangzeb Alamgir’s father Emperor Shah Jahan in 1648 A.D. The mosque is an important example of Mughal architecture, with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay.This painting is painted with vivid colors focusing mainly on the effect of strokes and colors. The foreground is inspired by river ravi as the mosque was built along the edge of the Ravi river. At the time of its construction, historic references tell that, Mughal Emperor Alamgir Aurangzeb ordered to place barriers at one point in the river so that the water does not flow close to the mosque and the mosque doesn’t get damaged. So with the passage of time, due the barriers inside the river, the river changed its bed and now we see River Ravi flowing far away. The painting is meant to bring faith, light and joy as you look at it and remember the blessings of Allah.
