Besides the lavish gardens, Mughal kings had a rich contribution in constructing many secular and Islamic buildings. The royal aesthetics were reflected not only in highly decorated and well-planned architecture but also in their techniques.

The remains of Mughal architecture are still desirable pieces of study for observers and scholars for their intrinsic findings.
