History · Khalji Architecture
Assertion (A): The Khalji style of architecture marks a decisive break from the Slave-dynasty style in the use of voussoir-based true arches, radiating domes on true squinches, and a distinctive red-sandstone-with-white-marble-inlay colour scheme. Reason (R): The Mongol devastation of the Saljuq and Khwarazmshahi lands of Central Asia and Iran between 1219 and 1260 caused a migration of skilled Muslim architects and craftsmen to the Delhi Sultanate, whose expertise matured in Alauddin Khalji's monumental projects.
