What kind of structures was built between eight and eighteenth century by the kings and their officers?

Chapter 5Between the 8th and 18th centuries, Indian kings and their officers constructed a wide variety of structures that reflected their power, religious beliefs, and administrative needs. These structures included temples, mosques, tombs, forts, palaces, step-wells, tanks, gardens, and caravanserais (rest houses). Each structure served a specific purpose—religious, military, or public welfare—and together they represented the rich architectural heritage of medieval India.
