The Sharqi Architecture of Jaunpur

Sharqi Architecture of Jaunpur is an important scholarly work that examines the architectural legacy of the Sharqi dynasty (c. 1394–1479), which ruled Jaunpur in northern India. The book explores the unique Indo-Islamic architectural style developed under the Sharqi rulers. Most notable examples of Sharqi style of architecture in Jaunpur are the Atala Masjid, the Lal Darwaza Masjid and the Jama Masjid. Though the foundation of the Atala Masjid was laid by Firuz Shah Tughluq in 1376, it was completed only during the rule of Ibrahim Shah in 1408.
