    Incredible.
    Red-themes usually make me feel a little “on edge,” but somehow this one, it almost feels… illuminating.

    So I take it the Mughals were Muslim, with depictions of living creatures being forbidden?

      Yep. Mughals came from central Asia. (Current day Uzbekistan). Heirs of Timurid importantly, and Genghis Khan.

      They did portray living creatures A LOT. Even other gods. You’ll find a lot mughal art in this comm as I post it more than anything else.

      Why you ask? Since I’m a mughal myself.

      Red was a very important color to the mughals. Red stones infact were the most highly valued!

      I strongly suggest just searching ‘mughal’ on whatever app youre on and you’ll find a lot of stuff that ive posted across many comms. Even history and wikipedia etc.

        Fascinating.

        Why you ask? Since I’m a mughal myself.

        Well, in my first two (admittedly half-learned tongues),
        Enchanté y Mucho Gusto. :D

        I’ve never known a Mughal person before, so it’s certainly my honor!

        But, hmm… you must have quite the interesting ‘growing up and learning’ experience, do you not? Like, IIRC the other place & now this place?

        (doxxing concern)

          Yeah I learned more about mughals from history books lol. Or as my family name.

          But I’m now in real estate so also a real estate mogul. (Which does come from mughal) lol

          Growing up was dead average tho. Nothing interesting. Both places are boring enough.
