Historical timeline

Twenty-five centuries, on one axis

Periods are shown to scale. These boundaries are scholarly conventions rather than exact dates, and different parts of the subcontinent were in different phases at the same time — the notes under the axis say what is firm and what is not.

1526 – 1857 CE

The empire founded by Babur and consolidated by Akbar, reaching its architectural high point under Shah Jahan with the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, the Red Fort and Agra Fort, and ending with the uprising of 1857.

How firm is this?

Aurangzeb's reign is dated either to 1658 or 1659 depending on the coronation taken as the start. The monuments of the period were built across a subcontinent where the empire's actual control varied enormously by region and decade.
