the first mogul Shah brought with him Tao of the leading
Persian court painters & a love of art &
craftsmanship. His son Akbar (1556-1606), one of the
greatest mogul emperor, in whose reign all arts & crafts
flourished. patronized various workshops for artistic
products, mainly carpets. The art of carpet making
flourished during Akbar's reign & blossomed during the
period of his grandson the builder of the Tajmahal
