Abstract

With the establishment of the Gurkan dynasty in India (932 A.H.) and the attainment of political stability, the Mughal sultans worked to build beautiful and grand palaces and gardens. Therefore, the presence of Iranian women in the court of the Indian sultans, along with their power and influence in various government branches, led them to impact multiple aspects of architecture. In architecture, Iranian women's focus on building construction and religious sites led to the creation of innovative and magnificent works infused with the Iranian essence throughout the Indian Empire. This research aims to evaluate the influence of Iranian women in the architecture of the Gurkan period in India through a comprehensive investigation. It seeks to answer how these women impacted the growth and prosperity of the architecture of the Gurkan empire in India. During this period, Iranian women played a significant role in enhancing architecture by contributing to construction of beautiful gardens, grand tombs, and large mosques in India.
