- (b) Adhai Din Ka Jhopra → (1) Qutb-ud-din Aibak. Located at Ajmer, this mosque was constructed around 1199 by the founder of the Slave dynasty, reusing materials from earlier temples; its screen of arches was added by Iltutmish.
- (c) Allahabad Fort → (3) Akbar. Built in 1583 at the Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna, it encloses the Ashokan Pillar bearing the Prayag Prashasti of Samudragupta composed by Harisena.
- (d) Itmad-ud-Daulah's Mausoleum → (2) Nur Jahan. Built at Agra (1622–28) by Nur Jahan for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, it is the first Mughal structure built entirely in white marble with pietra dura inlay, earning it the name "Baby Taj".
