The architecture and sculpture of Moti Masjid (Delhi) was created during his reign. This monument is part of the important buildings in Red Fort. Carved out of white pristine marble this mosque was basically built as a private place for worshipping for the emperor himself. The usual features of Mughal sculpture and architecture are, however, apparent, especially, the Persian influence. The detailed inlay works define the sculpture of Badshahi Mosque. For a change re sandstone has been used to construct this mosque. It is considered one of the finest architectural specimens from Aurangzeb era. Aurangzeb is also accredited with the construction of Bibi Ka Maqbara. This is one of the sculptures during Aurangzeb era that was created in imitation of the Taj Mahal. But beyond doubt the sculpture of Taj Mahal supersedes it in craftsmanship. |
