An inscription in Shah Jahan’s diwan-ikhas in Delhi stated: “If there is Paradise on Earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.” How was this image created?

During Shah Jahan’s reign, the different elements of Mughal architecture were fused together in a grand harmonious synthesis.

1. The image of Paradise on Earth was created through the construction of audience halls, which were modeled like a mosque.

2. The pedestal on which his throne was placed was frequently described as the qibla which means the direction of Muslims pray as everybody faced that direction when court was in session.

3. These architectural features communicated a sense of divine justice and the idea that the king was the representative of God on earth.

Therefore, by the means of architecture style, this image was created.
