'''Indo-Saracenic architecture''' (also known as '''Indo-Gothic''', '''Mughal-Gothic''', '''Neo-Mughal''', in the 19th century often '''Indo-Islamic style'''<ref>((Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jIWr0IO9dYIC&pg=PA364 |title=A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture |isbn=978-0-19-860678-9 |language=en))</ref>) was a [[Revivalism (architecture)|revivalist architectural]]  style mostly used by British architects in India in the later 19th century, especially in public and government buildings in the [[British Raj]], and the palaces of rulers of the [[princely state]]s. It drew stylistic and decorative elements from native [[Indo-Islamic architecture]], especially [[Mughal architecture]], which the British regarded as the classic Indian style.<ref>Das, 98</ref>  The basic layout and structure of the buildings tended to be close to that used in contemporary buildings in other revivalist styles, such as [[Gothic revival architecture|Gothic revival]] and [[Neoclassical architecture|Neo-Classical]], with specific Indian features and decoration added.

The style drew from western exposure to depictions of Indian buildings from about 1795, such as those by [[William Hodges]] and the Daniell duo ([[William Daniell]] and his uncle [[Thomas Daniell]]). The first Indo-Saracenic building is often said to be the [[Chepauk Palace]], completed in 1768, in present-day [[Chennai]] (Madras), for the [[Nawab of Arcot]].<ref>Das, 95, 102</ref> [[Bombay]] and [[Calcutta]] (as they then were), as the main centres of the Raj administration, saw many buildings constructed in the style, although Calcutta was also a bastion of European Neo-Classical architecture fused with Indic architectural elements. Most major buildings are now classified under the Heritage buildings category as laid down by the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] (ASI), and protected.((citation needed|date=November 2018))

The style enjoyed a degree of popularity outside British India, where architects often mixed Islamic and European elements from various areas and periods with boldness, in the prevailing climate of [[eclecticism in architecture]]. Among other British colonies and protectorates in the region, it was adopted by architects and engineers in [[British Ceylon]] (present-day [[Sri Lanka]]) and the [[Federated Malay States]] (present-day [[Malaysia]]). The style was sometimes used, mostly for large houses, in the [[United Kingdom]] itself, for example at the royal [[Royal Pavilion|Brighton Pavilion]] (1787–1823) and [[Sezincote House]] (1805) in [[Gloucestershire]].

The wider European version, also popular in the Americas, is [[Moorish Revival architecture]], which tends to use specific South Asian features less, and instead those characteristic of the Arabic-speaking countries; [[Neo-Mudéjar]] is the equivalent style in Spain. In India there had been an earlier inversion of the style in [[Lucknow]] before the British takeover in 1856, where Indian architects rather "randomly grafted European stylistic elements, as details and motifs, on to a skeleton derived from the Indo-Islamic school." This is known as the "Nawabi style."<ref>Jayewardene-Pillai, 10</ref> [[Saracen]] was a term used in the [[Middle Ages]] in Europe for the Arabic-speaking Muslim people of the [[Middle East]] and [[North Africa]], and the term "Indo-Saracenic" was first used by the British to describe the earlier [[Indo-Islamic architecture]] of the Mughals and their predecessors,<ref>Jayewardene-Pillai, 14</ref> and often continued to be used in that sense. "Saracenic architecture" (without the "Indo-") was first used for the architecture of [[Muslim Spain]], the most familiar [[Islamic architecture]] to most early 19th-century writers in English.

))

With a number of exceptions from earlier, most Indo-Saracenic public buildings were constructed by parts of the [[British Raj]] government of India, in place between 1858 and 1947, with the peak period beginning around 1880.  They partly reflected the British aspiration for an "Imperial style" of their own, rendered on an intentionally grand scale, reflecting and promoting a notion of an unassailable and invincible [[British Empire]],<ref>Jayewardene-Pillai, 6, 14</ref>  The style has been described as "part of a 19th-century movement to project themselves as the natural successors of the Mughals".<ref>Das, xi</ref>

At the same time they were built for modern functions such as railway stations, government offices for an increasingly wide-reaching bureaucracy, and law courts.  They often incorporated modern construction methods and facilities.  While stone was typically used, at least as a facing, these included substructures composed of iron, steel and [[poured concrete]], and later [[reinforced concrete]] and [[pre-cast concrete]] elements.

The style has been said, by a native of Kolkata,((who|date=September 2022)) to be most common in "Southern and Western India", and of the three main cities of the 19th-century Raj, it was and is much more evident in [[Mumbai]] and [[Chennai]] rather than [[Kolkata]], where both public government buildings, and the mansions of wealthy Indians tended to use versions of European [[Neoclassical architecture]].<ref>Das, xi, xiv, 98, 101</ref>  Madras (now Chennai) was a particular centre of the style, but still tended to use details from Mughal architecture, which had barely ever reached [[Tamil Nadu]] before. This was partly because English authorities such as [[James Fergusson (architect)|James Fergusson]] especially deprecated [[Dravidian architecture]],<ref>Das, 101–104</ref> which would also have been harder and more expensive to adapt to modern building functions.

Typical elements found include:
* [[Onion Dome|onion (bulbous) domes]]
* [[Chhajja]], [[Overhang (architecture)|overhanging]] [[eave]]s, often supported by conspicuous brackets
* pointed arches, cusped arches, or scalloped arches
*[[horseshoe arch]]es, in fact characteristic of [[Islamic Spain]] or North Africa, but often used 
* contrasting colours of [[voussoir]]s round an arch, especially red and white; another feature more typical of North Africa and Spain
* curved roofs in Bengali styles such as [[char-chala]]
* domed [[chhatri]] kiosks on the roofline
* [[pinnacle]]s
* [[tower]]s or [[minaret]]s
* open [[pavilion]]s or pavilions with Bangala roofs
* [[jali]]s or [[openwork]] screens
*[[Mashrabiya]] or [[jharokha]]-style screened windows
*[[Iwan]]s, in the form of entrances set back from the facade, under an arch.

Chief proponents of this style of architecture included [[Robert Fellowes Chisholm]], Sir [[Samuel Swinton Jacob]], [[Charles Mant]], [[Henry Irwin]], [[William Emerson (British architect)|William Emerson]], [[George Wittet]] and [[Frederick William Stevens|Frederick Stevens]], along with numerous other skilled professionals and artisans throughout Europe and the Americas.
[[File:Islamia College Peshawar 2.jpg|thumb|The British-era [[Islamia College University|Islamia College]] was built in an Indo-Saracenic Revival architectural style in [[Peshawar]], [[Pakistan]].]]
[[File:Rambagh Palace view from garden, July 2016 cropped.jpg|thumb|The [[Rambagh Palace]] in Jaipur reflecting Imperial Rajasthani architecture. Early 20th-century.]]

Structures built in Indo-Saracenic style in India and in certain nearby countries were predominantly grand public edifices, such as [[clock tower]]s and [[courthouse]]s. Likewise, civic as well as municipal and governmental [[college]]s along with [[town hall]]s counted this style among its top-ranked and most-prized structures to this day; ironically, in Britain itself, for example, King George IV's [[Royal Pavilion]] at [[Brighton]], (which twice in its lifetime has been threatened with being torn-down, denigrated by some as a "[[carnival]] sideshow", and dismissed by threatened nationalists as "an architectural folly of inferior design", no less) and elsewhere, these rare and often diminutive (though sometimes, as mentioned, of grand-scale), residential structures that exhibit this colonial style are highly valuable and prized by the communities in which they exist as being somehow "magical" in appearance.((citation needed|date=November 2018))

Typically, in India, villages, towns and cities of some means would lavish significant sums on construction of such architectural works when plans were drawn up for construction of the local [[railway station]]s, [[museum]]s and [[art gallery|art galleries]].

The cost involved in the construction of buildings of this style was high, including all their inherent customization, ornament and minutia decoration, the artisans' ingenious skills (stone and wood carving, as well as the exquisite lapidary/inlaid work) and usual accessibility to requisite raw materials, hence the style was executed only on buildings of a grand scale. However the occasional residential structure of this sort, (its being built in part or whole with Indo-Saracenic design elements/motifs) did appear quite often, and such buildings have grown ever more valuable and highly prized by local and foreign populations for their exuberant beauty and elegance today.((citation needed|date=November 2018))

Either evidenced in a property's primary unit or any of its outbuildings, such estate-caliber residential properties lucky enough to boost the presence of an Indo-Saracenic structure, are still to be seen, generally, where in instances [[urban sprawl]] has not yet overcome them; often they are to be found in exclusive neighborhoods' (or surrounded, as cherished survivors, by enormous sky-scarpers, in more recently claimed urbanized areas throughout this "techno" driven, socio-economic revolutionary era marking India's recent decade's history), and are often locally referred to as "mini-palaces". Usually, their form-factors are these: townhouse, wings and/or porticoes. Additionally, more often seen are the diminutive renditions of the Indo-Saracenic style, built originally for lesser budgets, finding their nonetheless romantic expression in the occasional and serenely beautiful garden pavilion outbuildings, throughout the world, especially, in India and England.((citation needed|date=November 2018))

==Indian context==
[[File:Aitchison Old building side.jpg|thumb| [[Aitchison College]] in [[Lahore]] with domed [[chhatri]]s, [[jali]]s, [[chhajja]] below the balcony, and other features, reflective of Rajasthani architecture.]]
((main|Indo-Islamic architecture|British architecture))
Confluence of different architectural styles had been attempted before during the mainly [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]], [[Delhi Sultanate]] and [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] periods. Turkic and Mughal incursions in the Indian subcontinent, introduced new concepts in the architecture of India. The prevailing style of architecture was [[Trabeated|trabeate]], employing pillars, [[Beam (structure)|beam]]s and [[lintel]]s, with less emphasis on arches and domes used during earlier Buddhist periods. The Turkic invaders brought in the arcuate style of construction, with more emphasis on [[arch]]es and beams, which flourished with [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] and [[Taluqdar]]s by building and incorporating Indian architecture, especially [[Hindu temple architecture|Rajasthani temple architecture]] and Imperial Indian palace/fort/urban architecture as well.

Local influences also led to different 'orders' of the Indo-Islamic style. After the disintegration of the [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] [[Delhi Sultanate]], rulers of individual states established their own rule and hence their own architectural styles which were imitations of local/regional Indian architectural schools. Examples of these are the 'Bengal' and the 'Gujarat' schools. Motifs such as [[chhajja]] (a sunshade or [[eave]] laid on cantilever brackets fixed into and projecting from the walls), [[corbel]] brackets with richly carved "stalactite"((citation needed|date=September 2022)) [[pendentive]] decorations, balconies, kiosks or [[chhatri]]s, and minars (tall towers) were characteristic of the imitation-Mughal architecture style, which was to become a lasting legacy of the nearly four hundred years of the Mughal presence in these areas.

==Mughal style==
((main|Mughal architecture|Akbari architecture))
Mughal architecture developed the [[Indo-Islamic architecture]] of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] with a further addition of [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] and Persian elements.  The height of the style was perhaps reached under [[Akbar]], the third [[Mughal emperor]].  Some of the significant architectural works of the Mughals are [[Humayun's Tomb]], the [[Taj Mahal]], the Forts of [[Agra Fort|Agra]] and [[Lahore Fort|Lahore]], the city of [[Fatehpur Sikri]], [[Akbar's Tomb]].

===Decline and revival===
[[File:Vidhana Souda , Bangalore.jpg|thumb|[[Vidhana Soudha]], [[Bangalore]] incorporates elements of Indo-Saracenic and [[Dravidian architecture|Dravidian]] styles.<ref name="deccsoudha">((cite news|title=Soudha: A tale of sweat and toil|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/bengaluru/soudha-tale-sweat-and-toil-093|access-date=11 November 2010|newspaper=[[Deccan Chronicle]]|date=31 October 2010|archive-date=5 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105203919/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/bengaluru/soudha-tale-sweat-and-toil-093|url-status=live))</ref> Constructed 1951–1956.]]

Shah Jahan was succeeded by his son, [[Aurangzeb]], who had little interest in art and architecture. As a result, Mughal commissioned architecture suffered, with most engineers, architects and artisans migrating to work under the patronage of local rulers. By the early 19th century, the British [[East India Company]] (EIC) controlled large portions of the [[Indian subcontinent]]. In 1803, their control was further strengthened after defeating the [[Maratha Empire]] which was led by [[Daulat Rao Sindhia]]. The EIC legitimized [[Company rule in India|their rule]] by taking Mughal emperor [[Shah Alam II]] under their protection, and ruling in conjunction with him. However, their power was yet again challenged when in 1857 [[Presidency armies|Indian soldiers in their employ]], together with rebellious princes including [[Rani of Jhansi]], launched the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]]. However, this uprising was suppressed within a year and marked the end of the [[Mughal Empire]], which was formally dissolved by the British. After the rebellion, the EIC's territories in India were formally transferred by the [[Government of the United Kingdom|British government]] to [[British Raj|Crown rule]]; the EIC dissolved soon after. In 1861, the new British colonial administration established the [[Archaeological Survey of India]], gradually restoring several important Indian monuments (such as the [[Taj Mahal]]) over the following decades.((citation needed|date=October 2022))
[[File:Egmore Museum building.jpeg|thumb|[[The National Art Gallery (Chennai)]]]]

To usher in a new era, the British "Raj", a new architectural tradition was sought, marrying the existing styles of India with imported styles from the West, such as [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] (with its sub styles of [[French Gothic architecture|French gothic]], Venetian-Moorish), [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] and, later, new styles such as [[Art Deco]]. This produced a number of buildings with mixed influences. By doing this they kept [[Architecture of India|Indian architecture]] while adding elements of British and European [[architecture]]; this, coupled with the British allowing [[List of princely states of British India (by region)|regional Indian princes]] to stay in power under various agreements, made their presence more "palatable" for the Indians. The British attempted to encapsulate [[History of South Asia|South Asia's past]] within their new Indic buildings and so represent Britain's Raj as legitimate to the Indian public.((citation needed|date=November 2018))

The main building of [[Mayo College]], completed in 1885, was built in the Indo-Saracenic style. Examples in Chennai include the [[Victoria Public Hall]], [[Madras High Court]], [[Senate House (University of Madras)|Senate House]] of the University of Madras, and the [[Chennai Central railway station]]. The building of [[New Delhi]] as the new imperial capital, which mostly took place between 1918 and 1931, led by [[Edwin Lutyens|Sir Edwin Lutyens]], brought the last flowering of the style, using a deeper understanding of Indian architecture. The [[Rashtrapati Bhavan]] (Viceroy's, then President's Palace) uses elements from Buddhist-era Indian architecture as well as those from later periods. This can be seen in the capitals of the columns and the screen around the drum below the main dome, drawing on the railings placed around ancient [[stupa]]s.((citation needed|date=September 2022))

==In British Malaya==
[[File:2016 Kuala Lumpur, Budynek Sułtana Abdula Samada (01).jpg|thumb|[[Sultan Abdul Samad Building]] in [[Kuala Lumpur]]]]
According to Thomas R. Metcalf, a leading scholar of the style, "the Indo-Saracenic, with its imagined past turned to the purposes of British colonialism, took shape outside India [ie the subcontinent] most fully only in Malaya". [[British Malaya]] was a predominantly Muslim society, where there was hardly any recent tradition of building in brick or stone, with even mosques and the palaces of the local rulers built in the abundant local [[hardwood]]s. [[Kuala Lumpur]] was only a small settlement when in 1895 the British decided to make it the capital of their new [[Federated Malay States]]; it needed a number of large public buildings. The British decided to use the Islamic style they were used to from India, despite its having little relationship to existing local architectural styles.<ref>Metcalf</ref>

Unlike in India, the British also built some palaces for the sultans of the several [[States and federal territories of Malaysia#States|states into which modern Malaysia remains divided]], and in some places where the population was greatly expanded, [[mosque]]s,<ref>Metcalf</ref> such as the [[Masjid Jamek|Jamek Mosque]] and [[Ubudiah Mosque]]. These were both designed by [[Arthur Benison Hubback]], the leading architect in the style between his arrival in 1895 and retirement in 1917, during which it experienced its peak in popularity.<ref name="encyclopedia msia old mosques">Mizan Hashim, David (1998). "Indian and Mogul influences on Mosques", ''[[The Encyclopedia of Malaysia]]'' (Architecture), p. 84–85.</ref>  The lack of local precedents allowed the English architects to create "an architecture defined purely by [[Orientalism|Orientalist]] fantasy", according to Metcalf, who says Hubback's Ubudiah Mosque ([[Kuala Kangsar]], 1913) "conjures up nothing less than a Victorian illustrator's fantasy from the ''[[Arabian Nights]]''".<ref>Metcalf</ref>
[[File:2016 Kuala Lumpur, Stacja kolejowa Kuala Lumpur (02).jpg|thumb|[[Kuala Lumpur Railway Station]], by [[Arthur Benison Hubback]], 1910.]]

Contrary to what is sometimes claimed, the leading figures were English professional architects (whereas in India former soldiers or military engineers were often used) who had never worked in India. Usually they could design in both Indo-Saracenic and European styles.  For example, the major buildings by [[Regent Alfred John Bidwell]], who left his career in London at the age of 34 in 1893 to take a public appointment in Malaysia, include Kuala Lumpur's [[Sultan Abdul Samad Building]] (originally the "Government Offices", 1894), in a free Islamic style, perhaps more Egyptian than Mughal, and with many horseshoe arches. After moving to private practice in [[Singapore]], Bidwell designed the thoroughly European [[Raffles Hotel]] (1899). In Singapore European styles had been the norm since the first British public building there in 1827, both copying [[Calcutta]] and reflecting a smaller proportion of Muslim [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malays]] in the population, and the role of the city as a military and trade base.  Metcalf notes that despite a large Chinese population, neither in Singapore nor in [[Hong Kong]] were public buildings with influences from [[Chinese architecture]] built in this period.<ref>Metcalf</ref>

The Government Offices were the first major British commission in Malaya, and Bidwell had proposed a European style, but was over-ruled by [[Charles Edwin Spooner|C. E. Spooner]], then State Engineer of the Public Works Department, a military engineer with many years experience in [[Ceylon]], who told those assembled for the opening ceremony "I then decided on the Mahametan style".  He did not design buildings himself, but was a key figure in approving designs. The commission brought together Spooner, [[Arthur Charles Alfred Norman|A.C. Norman]], Bidwell, and the newly arrived Hubback (from 1895).<ref>Metcalf</ref><ref name="encyclopedia msia Raj style">Gullick, John Michael (1998). "The British 'Raj' style ", ''[[The Encyclopedia of Malaysia]]'' (Architecture), p. 82–83.</ref> The building's construction inspired additional civic buildings in the vicinity to be built in a similar style, while the style's elements would see more limited adoption among private buildings in Malaya.  However artificial a creation the Malayan British Islamic style is, it is noticeable that most major public buildings survive long after [[Hari Merdeka|Malayan independence]] in 1957 and the [[Formation of Malaysia|formation]] of [[Malaysia]] in 1963, remaining well-cared for on their prime city sites, many re-purposed as their original functions are now carried out in more modern buildings elsewhere.
