Ghurid Dynasty
The Ghurid Dynasty, being the first Islamic empire to hold any important amount of land within India, began the fusion of Islamic and native Indian architectural styles. The Qutb Minar, which was begun in 1192 in Delhi by Qutb-ud-din Aibak was designed to show the power and glory of the new Islamic rulers. Iltutmish completed the tower and extended the Jami Masjid, the main masjid in Dehli. The design of the Qutb Minar and the courtyard around the Jami Masjid show influence of native Indian floral motifs and ornaments, with Quranic verses in Arabic imposed on them. Ibn Battuta, the great Muslim traveler from Morocco remarked that the Qutb Minar tower had "no parallel in the lands of Islam".
