Mughal Empire, as realized, 1526-1857
Early Modern · realized scope
The Mughal Empire was a centralized imperial state that governed large portions of the Indian subcontinent under a line of rulers descending from Timurid and Mongol dynasties. It existed from 1526, when Babur defeated the last Lodi sultan at the First Battle of Panipat, until its formal dissolution by the British Crown in 1857. It is principally associated with a Persian-influenced administrative and court culture, the construction of monuments such as the Taj Mahal, and a system of provincial governance known as the mansabdari system.
