v6.c41.s25.275

If Indian architecture had much merging capacity, the Muhammadan mosque would have borne the Hindu *śikhara*, and the Taj Mahal would have looked like a *dagoba*. 'The culture and art they brought could have been merged into Indian one only to cause it to seek out a new path of development,' if there were any noticeable modification of the Turkish and Mogul architecture in India for the better than it was in the lands of its origin.
