Abstract
The naturalistic tendency that became the forte of the Mughal domain especially during the sixteenth and the seventeenth century are the areas of this papar. The particular mosques that this research focuses are the, Maryam Zamani mosque, Neela Gumbad mosque, Badshahi mosque and the Sonehri mosque. The study of these particular mosques sheds light on the development of the Mughal ornamentation through their reigning period. The particular area of the dome is the focus of study as it had been an important part of the mosque architecture throughout the Islamic reign and mostly the apex of concepts and ideology were achieved during its composition of various floral and geometric motifs. The dome decoration has a variety that needs to be explored and documented within the vicinity of Lahore, especially the mosques as they are fading away quickly into the dust of their surroundings.
