DIGITAL IMAGES OF JALIS OF MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Though\u00a0jali<\/i>\u00a0(from Sanskrit ‘Jala<\/i>‘ and ‘Jalaka<\/i>‘) has been described in ancient Indian architectural texts, it owes its growth and development, to this magnificent scale and stature, to the Mughals and it belongs to the 16th and 17th century stone-art of India. It is an essential element of Mughal Architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red sandstone and white marble\u00a0jalis<\/i>\u00a0have been universally used in Mughal monuments, on edges of platforms, causeways and terraces (as railings, with balusters), and also on the edges of the projecting\u00a0chhajjas<\/i>,\u00a0jharokhas<\/i>and\u00a0gaukhs<\/i>\u00a0(balconies); and along with\u00a0chhatris. Jalis<\/i>\u00a0are also used gorgeously to close window and door openings for\u00a0purdah<\/i>\u00a0(veil) and for effect. While they admit free air, they temper sunlight and eliminate its glare.\u00a0Jalis<\/i>\u00a0are used as excellent ventilators in private inner rooms, toilets and on drains. Essentially a useful architectural accessory, the Mughals made it a work of art.<\/p>\n

The Mughals have mostly used geometrical\u00a0jalis<\/i>, both with straight and curved lines. Mughal artist’s ingenuity knew no bounds and the number of Mughal\u00a0jalis<\/i>\u00a0is legion and variety unlimited. They have also used floral, arabesque and stylized designs.<\/span><\/p>\n
