    ABSTRACT

    Indo-Saracenic (from Saracen, an archaic name for Muslims used by the British), also
    known as Indo- Gothic was a style of Architecture used by British Architects in the late 19th
    century in India. IndoSaracenic Architecture was an effort to merge British and Indian
    aspirations after 1858 and to show that how despite being an Imperial power, the British in
    India were part of the Indian milieu. It also aroused Indian’s interest in their own history.
    The Indo-Saracenic movement began in the 1870’s. An attempt at creating authority through
    classical prototypes and the latter phase moving towards the Colonial Architecture. It is
    more classical than Gothic. The Indo-Saracenic is a mixture of Indian and Islamic
    Architecture but remained British in spatial Organization and composition. Buildings built in
    this style were usually grand public buildings such as clock towers, court houses, civic and
    municipal buildings, Government colleges, Town halls, Railway stations, Museums and Art
    galleries. Few Architects of this style were: Robert Fellowes Chisholm, Henry Irwin, Edwin
    Lutyens and Charles Mant.
