शाहजहां ने अपनी इमारतों के लिए आखिर लाल पत्थर ही क्यों चुना?

मुगलों ने लाल किला को लाल पत्थरों से बनाया, जिसे अंग्रेजों ने भी जारी रखा

[{"selector":"#anim-f21c077e-1084-4a3e-8c8c-af688085d6e9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.0658141036401503e-14%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e46d12f4-ccf1-4531-9036-225bf7064cd0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f56a191d-e1bf-438c-909f-931695a1dacc","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

शाहजहां ने लाल किला, जामा मस्जिद जैसी इमारतों को लाल पत्थरों का बनवाया

[{"selector":"#anim-bc3bcaf1-ec6e-473c-a202-73c27116a61f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98d741b1-1c13-41f0-a4f9-d54d1f200a26","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14287635-8b33-4f87-bcde-224d454a1ec4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

वास्तुकला के अच्छे जानकार शाहजहां चाहते थे कि उनकी इमारतों को लोग हमेशा याद रखें

[{"selector":"#anim-48bcb458-286b-4ffa-88cb-1a1ee39f3943 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(4.922584771973871%, 8.342800337977922%) scale(1.364963503649635)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d59e5e8-88f0-44a8-bc73-699ec4bd3826","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a8f0f37-ea70-4737-916e-35eae28e029f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

इसलिए शाहजहां ने अपने इमारतों के लिए लाखोरी ईंट या लाल पत्थरों को चुना

[{"selector":"#anim-1ea946d5-97cd-4397-a85d-11b4dbed3fe9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.3967279947270519%, -18.213269895717445%) scale(1.3703703703703702)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eeff38db-05a6-40a7-97ef-ed4edc29f176","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b3f89cef-7933-40b5-b794-acd7089eaa27","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

लाल पत्थर की खास बात ये ह कि गर्मी और तापमान को नियंत्रित कर सकता है

[{"selector":"#anim-f3955357-1a05-44e3-a675-95d8f6593721 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0.681326556041523%, -6.946901861219442%) scale(1.2016129032258065)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be34b2fb-0e3f-4067-b9d9-0de8701c563a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60a836aa-d5f2-4505-8c7f-c81f291cd891","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

इनके स्थापत्य शैली का इस्तेमाल राजवंशों ने भी किया, जिसकी झलक आज देखने को मिलती है

[{"selector":"#anim-f1d8dd2c-30a9-41eb-8439-557082086d9d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-4.807692452995759%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b810fc28-21ae-4847-b56b-ecc930498f20","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47f5c21a-57cc-484b-9ba4-96e24ea30a43","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
