Question

Sultanate architecture under the Tughlaqs underwent a change. Point out the incorrect answer.

A Ornamentation was reduced to a minimum
B Large stone blocks were used
C Simplicity of lines was adhered to
D Enamelled tiles were used

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [D]

The incorrect answer regarding Sultanate architecture under the Tughlaqs is:

D) Enamelled tiles were used.

Enamelled tiles were not commonly used in Sultanate architecture under the Tughlaqs. The architectural style during the Tughlaq dynasty emphasized simplicity, grandeur, and the use of large stone blocks. Ornamentation was indeed reduced to a minimum, and the focus was on clean lines and geometric patterns.

Enamelled tiles became more prominent in later Mughal architecture, particularly during the reign of Emperor Akbar and his successors. These tiles were used to decorate the facades, domes, and interiors of Mughal buildings.

Therefore, the correct statement is that enamelled tiles were not used in Sultanate architecture under the Tughlaqs.
