Solution
The following factors were responsible for the growth of a composite culture during the Mughal period:
- The immense wealth and the unlimited power in the hands of the Mughal emperors enabled them to continue their patronage of fine arts and literature. They used their wealth and leisure to build palaces, forts, and monuments.
- The Mughal Emperors had a great sense of beauty and art. Each of them was anxious to find an outlet for their expression in some visual arts. The glorious and rich cultural heritage of the Mughals on the one hand, and the Indians on the other hand, created a unique atmosphere for the brilliant output of letters and fine arts.
