Options:

Mughal Art and Architecture

Correct Answer:

Mughal Art and Architecture

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Mughal Art and Architecture

The Ain-i-Akbari by Abu’l Fazl focuses mainly on administrative, economic, and court-related details of the Mughal Empire. It gives extensive accounts of:

  • Organisation of the Mughal court (protocols, hierarchy, imperial household)

  • Mughal administration (civil and military systems, revenue structures)

  • Mughal army (organization, mansabdars, equipment)

However, it does not provide a detailed study of Mughal art and architecture.
