Explanation:

Pietra dura ornamentation and Charbagh style can be seen exclusively in Mughal architecture. These characteristics distinguish Mughal architecture from Sultanate architecture. Usage of red sandstone can be seen in both Sultanate architecture and Mughal architecture. Example: Qutub Minar, Red Fort etc. Charbagh style is the presence of square garden, divided into four main parts by causeways in the centre of which ran shallow water channels. Pietra dura refers to technique of creating intricate inlaid pictures from shaped colored stones. This work is prominently visible in Taj Mahal, Buland Darwaza and Red fort.
