History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c24.64

c24.64

After conquest of Chittor in 1303, 'Alāuddīn constructed a bridge over River Gamberi. Its chief architectural features, the gateways and towers, have disappeared, but the massive arches of grey limestone still indicate the hand of the competent engineers who constructed it.²⁷ Another example of the architecture of the period may be seen in the Ukha Mosque at Bayānā (now in the Bharatpur state). It was built by Qutbuddīn Mubārak Shāh, and appears to be a provincialised version of the Delhi style.
