in mind religious and secular necessities, architectural building like mosques for daily prayers, the Jama Masjids, TOMBS, dargahs, minars, hammams, FORMALLY LAID out gardens, madrasas, sarais or caravansarais, Kos minars, etc., were constructed over a period of time. These were thus additions in the existing types of buildings in the sub-continent. Architectural edifices in the Indian sub-continent, as elsewhere in the world, were constructed by wealthy people. They were, in descending order, rulers and nobles and their families, merchants, merchant guilds, rural elite and devotees of a cult. In spite of the obvious Saracenic, Persian and Turkish influences, Indo-Islamic structures were heavily influenced by prevailing sensibilities of Indian architectural and decorative forms. A lot depended on the availability of materials, limitations of resources and skills and the sense of aesthetics of the patrons. ALTHOUGH religion and religiosity were very IMPORTANT to people of medieval India, as elsewhere, they borrowed architectural elements liberally. pls mark me as the brainliest
