v2.c30.56

Burhânpur, which was the capital of the Fârûqî dynasty of Kândesh, from A.D. 1370 to 1596, does possess some buildings remarkable for their extent and picturesque in their decay, but of very little artistic value, and many of them—especially the later ones—in very questionable taste. Ahmadnagar, the capital of the Nizâm Shâhî dynasty, A.D. 1490 to 1607, is singularly deficient in architectural grandeur, considering how long it was the capital of an important dynasty.
