Jahan for his wife, Arjuman Banu Begum, the monument sums
up many of the formal themes that have played through
Islamic architecture. Its refined elegance is a conspicuous
contrast both to the Hindu architecture of pre - Islamic
India, with its thick walls, corbelled arches and heavy
lintels and to the Indo Islamic styles, in which Hindu
elements are combined with an electric assortment of motifs
from Persian and Turkish sources.
