Domes 01

The dome is probably the most prominent feature of Mughal, Islamic and Indian architecture. It is a symbolic representation of the vault of heaven.

The dome’s silhouette may vary from hemispherical, pointed, shallow or onion shaped and may be constructed in a variety of ways. They are often decorated externally as well as internally providing an impressive architectural feature wherever they are found. According to Islam, God’s throne in paradise is a gigantic pearl on four pillars through which the rivers of grace run through.
