“…The Chalukyas and Solankis rose during the Middle Ages, and built forts, temples, and palaces decorated with religious symbolism and stone carvings (Thapar, 2019). Islamic influence came to Gujrat during the Mughal and sultanate periods, Islamic architectural elements were introduced like tombs, minarets, domes, arches in mosques, and palaces (Michell & Zebrowski, 1999). Gujarat's architectural landscape was improved due to cultural contact with neighboring regions, which created a fusion of Islamic, Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu influences (Merklinger, 2012).…”

“…It reached its present form during the reign of Firuz Shah, whose tomb was probably the last monument to be built there. 51 The elite funerary compound at Holkonda Also located on the shores of an important reservoir is Holkonda, a very different kind of funerary compound from the Haft Gumbad (Figures 9 and 10). It is located 20 kilometres northeast of Gulbarga on the way to Bidar, the final capital of the Bahmani sultans.…”

Freelance scholarBahmani gardens have not hitherto been considered a suitable topic for scholarly research. This article presents certain hypotheses based on the examination of water 'architecture', water sources, and their relationships to courtly and funerary buildings. Historical narratives rarely mention Bahmani architecture in conjunction with gardens, and the few instances that do are, at best, scanty. In this article, four distinct kinds of Bahmani architectural landscapes will be suggested, although with time further typologies might be identified. All are distinguished by panoramic views allowing vistas onto water sources or structures which, together with the choice of planting, are of commanding importance in the disposition of the gardens. Bahmani landscapes can be 'gardens with water' or simply 'water gardens'. In the former case, water is responsible for shaping the garden in conjunction with the choice of planting; in the latter case, it is the play of water that is important, as planting is absent. The meadow garden is found in both funerary and courtly contexts. In the enclosed or open garden types, the water source lies outside the enclosure wall or is located in the vicinity of the tomb or courtly structure and the canalizations that introduce water into the garden setting help to structure the landscape design together with the planting. This last-mentioned variety could be responsible for the later linear garden type, the courtyard garden (found in courtly architectural settings), and, finally, the pure water garden.

“…India has witnessed several imperial powers within the last two millenniums, and each power had a little or major influence over the architectural developments of the sub-continent in various ways [1][2]. The Sultanate, Mughals, Marathas and the British dominated the second half of this time period which led to the construction of hundreds of religious installations within their territorial boundaries [3][4][5]. The hilly state of Himachal Pradesh (then part of unified Punjab province) was less active during the early imperial phase and only gained socio-political importance after Shimla became the summer capital of the British Empire in India.…”

Imperial rule in the Indian sub-continent led to the construction of several European styled churches in the late 19th and early 20th century. St. John in Wilderness, built in 1852 in Mcleod Ganj, and Christ Church built in 1857 in Shimla, are examples of the symposium of extensive natural richness and architectural imperialism carried under the name of ‘The Gothic Revival’. This paper presents a biophilic analysis of these two 19th century churches along with the responses from 238 visitors recorded on the perceived restorativeness scale’s four contributing factors Being Away, Fascination, Extent and Compatibility, to understand the relationship between the human perception of architecture and nature. The study concludes that St. John in Wilderness due to its close connection with nature has greater Perceived Restorativeness in comparison to the Christ Church. The contributing factors of high restorative quality are identified and highlighted so that improved design guidelines for religious buildings can be prepared for future references.
