The Mughal Empire The Mongol leader Babur established the Mughal Empire, sometimes known as the \"gunpowder empire,\" in 1526 after winning the first battle of Panipat. From 1526 to 1858, the Indian subcontinent was home to the Mughal empire. The Mughal empire dominated the majority of the Indian subcontinent and a portion of modern-day Afghanistan during its height in the 17th century. The Mughal empire, which had a significantly higher level of life than Europe at the time, was renowned for its tolerance of different religions.

Influence on Art Culture & Craft Even though the Mughal's reign was very ominous, in certain aspects  it did bring a lot of cultural diversities with it. It had a significant impact on Indian art and culture at the time and continues to do so today. Some of the direct impacts on Art still living today are as follows: Blue pottery Marble inlay work  Rogan painting  Carpet weaving  Bidriware   Architecture



Textile Crafting has been greatly influenced by the Mughals' exceptional artistry and skill, which are genuinely unrivalled. Complex designs and embroideries in gold and silver threads, as well as clothing made of opulent silk, velvet, brocade, and muslin, were the defining characteristics of Mughal attire. The expensive varieties of cotton, wool, and silk were used extensively in the outfit. Shawls made then were exceedingly thin and fragile, readily fitting between rings. In addition to silk, Tush (wild goat's hair), and Pashmina, light and warm wool was the predominant textile material during the Mughal Empire.

Costume Mughal clothing refers to the the clothing and its development in te 16th-18th century through out the extent of the empire in the Indian Subcontinent. The Mughals, innovations and changes were frequently made, and clothing was created to suit an Emperor's preferences. Men and women of the Mughal empire both covered themselves in jewellery from head to toe and wore expensive, finely made garments. The finest muslins, silks, velvets, and brocades were used to make the clothes worn by Mughal women. Their attire was made from one of three types of muslin: Ab-e-Rawan( Running water) Baft Hawa (woven air) Shabnam (Evening dew) which was brought from Decca and famously called as Dhaka malmal.

Women Costume Muslim men and women during the Mughal era dressed similarly in terms of style. They wore long, baggy ribs that resembled jamas and had full sleeves and a front opening. An ankle-length vest was worn underneath, and the ensemble was finished off with a veil that mostly obscured the face and hair. Qabas (coats) fashioned of Kashmir shawl cloth were worn as overcoats during the colder months. They typically wore the burga outside of the harem, which covered the entire body except for the area around the eyes Peshwaz Abho Kurta Sadri Mirzai/kurti Salwar Mughlai Paijama Farshi Paijama Choli Ghagri

Clothing Detaill Pai-Jama: The Persian words \"pa\" for legs or feet and \"jama\" for a cover combine to form the word \"pai-jama.\" Since very early times, people in Persia have sported drawstring pyjamas. Numerous styles of pai-jamas were worn in India from around 1530. Men and women both wear churidars, which are pants that are cut on the bias and are significantly longer than the leg.

Styling Additionally, women wore a variety of headpieces, including Binduli, Kotbi-ladar, Sekra, Siphul, Tikka, and Jhumar. Up to eight entire pieces of jewellery were not uncommon among women. Popular ornaments included 2 inch wide armlets worn above the elbows, bracelets or strings of pearls at the wrist stacked high enough to block access to the pulse, a large number of rings (the mirror ring worn on the right thumb being customary for nearly all inhabitants of the Zenana), strings of pearls (as many as 15 strings at a time), metal bands or strings of pearls at the bottom of their legs, and ornaments hanging in the middle of the head in the shape of a star,

Ornamets Women are inherently drawn to jewellery at all ages. Both Hindus and Muslims in India considered jewellery to be sacred. Hindus considered gold jewellery to be lucky, while Muslims believed in holy armlets and jewels with stone settings. A wealth of evidence supporting the wearing of ornaments by Mughal females may be found in several tales of foreign travellers and Mughal paintings. In addition to being worn to garner attention from those around them, ornaments served as a recognisable sign of status, rank, and respect. Necklaces, hand and arm adornments, nose and head ornaments are included in the list. Footwear In keeping with Persian custom, both men and women wore embellished shoes with turned-up toes (Jhuti). Other shoes were the Khurd Nau, which was made of kid leather and was exceedingly light, the Salim Shahi, which was embellished with gold, the Charhvan, which had a tongue that curled and was attached to the toe, and the Kafsh, which were worn by aristocrats and monarchs. Lucknow was well- known for its footwear during the Mughal Empire, and embroidering leather and velvet shoes was a widespread practise.

Headgear Turbans: The turban was a symbol of rank, religion, caste, and family. In the Middle Ages, several ladies wore turbans. The Mughals tied their turbans in knots and then adorned them with bans, pins, and other embellishments.
