Question

In medieval India, creation of large kingdoms led to _________.

• A. cross-fertilisation of architectural styles
• B. elimination of local architectural styles
• C. isolation of local architectural styles
• D. replacement of local architectural styles with new styles

Answer 1

The correct option is A cross-fertilisation of architectural styles

In medieval India, creation of large kingdoms led to cross fertilisation of architectural styles. The elephant stables found in Vijayanagara were influenced by architecture of neighbouring kingdoms like Bijapur and Golconda. Fatehpur Sikri was close to Vrindavan. This influenced the style of temples built in Vrindavan.
