Sayyid dynasty time period

Architectures during the Sayyid Dynasty and The architectures during Sayyid and Lodi dynasty made smaller influence to the cities where they ruled. Whatever they constructed mirrored the broken spirit of the rulers of both the dynasties. No famous building arts, capital cities, imperial palaces and fortresses were created during their regime at Architecture during Sayyid and Lodi dynasty developed a new form of Islamic architecture which was later followed by the Mughals. Sayyids and Lodis constructed the tombs in two different forms; one pattern was based on octagonal plan surrounded by arched walkway with one storey in height and the other one was based on square plan without walkway with two or three storey in height. In both the cases, the building had a dome with pillars on each side of the octagonal and the square variety. An important feature of the architecture during Sayyid and Lodi dynasty is the amazing measurements of height and width to match with the structure of the basements. The height and width of each octagonal face is thirty feet, including the basement. The ornamental pinnacles or guldasta is present at the corners. This measurement is also half the total height of the building including the finial. Each octagonal face contains three arched openings divided by pillars. The central opening of the octagonal face is slightly broader than the two other openings. The tomb chamber inside is octagonal in plan along with an "arch and beam" opening in each face...

A thousand years from now, what will bear witness to the existence of a people called Americans? Remnants of great buildings like the Empire State Building, the Washington Monument, perhaps even the Space Needle? Time takes its toll on everything created by human hands and human minds but what is left tells a story. The monuments and architecture of the Sayyid Dynasty tell such a story. Let us explore some of these great witnesses to the past. So, what is left of the short life of the Sayyid Dynasty? Unfortunately, not much has survived from this dynasty but there are a couple of noteworthy exceptions. Tombs and mausoleums, which are monuments to the dead, were built during the Sayyid Dynasty and some still remain standing or partially standing. For example, the Sayyid Dynasty ruler Mubarak Shah's tomb is octagonal, it has eight sides. Imagine a stop sign faced down on the ground as a template, and you will get the idea. The tomb has stone buttresses and colonnades with arches that encircle the verandah that encloses the structure, a domed roof, and a low protective wall called a parapet. At the top of the tomb is a red stone kiosk lantern motif, the first such architectural ornamentation in Islamic architecture. A funerary mosque rests nearby. The tomb is located in Kotla Mubarakpur, a section of New Delhi. Another tomb, that of Muhammad Shah, built years later used Mubarak Shah's tomb as a blueprint but added its own distinct elements. It is considered to be the more bea...

Notes on the architectural achievements of Sayyid Dynasty The period of the Sayyid was a period of disorder and war. The historical buildings constructed during this period can just be called an unsuccessful imitation of the Khilji buildings. Because of the lack of financial resources, the buildings were constructed of very low standard material. Today only their ruins can be seen. The main buildings and cities of this period are the following: (i) City of Khizrabad and Mubarakabad: ADVERTISEMENTS: During this period Khizr Khan built the city of Khizrabad and Mubarakshah the city of Mubarakbad. (ii) Tomb of Sultan Mubarakshah: The tomb of Sultan Mubarakshah is situated in the village of Mubarakpur, surrounded by high verandahs. The top of the dome was decorated with ‘Deepak’ (or lamp). This building is so high that visitors see it with difficulty. (iii) Tomb of Mohammad Shah:
