DESCRIPTION
An important aspect of Mughal art, besides architecture and painting, is the handicraft. All the colour and glamour, the refinement and elegance and the dazzling splendour of the court and domestic lives of the Great Mughals and their noblemen are the gifts of handicrafts. Indded without the artefacts it would not have been possible for the Grand Mughals to bring down the, 'Paradise on Earth'.
