	Mughal Era India
		Mughal rule under Jahangir (1605-27) and Shah Jahan (1628-58) was noted for political stability, brisk economic activity, beautiful paintings, and monumental buildings.
		Between 1636 and 1646, Shah Jahan sent Mughal armies to conquer the Deccan and the northwest beyond the Khyber Pass.

		In the context of contemporary South Asian music, Dhrupad falls in the tradition of Hindustani music, which is practiced in the northern portion of India, as well as in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and in the period preceding the Russian invasion, to some extent in Afghanistan as well.
		In the pre-medieval era, India was an essentially Hindu area with a religion and culture codified most completely in the extremely sophisticated Sanskrit language.
		Because the practice of Dhrupad music — and indeed of most Hindustani music — is propagated through the oral tradition, we cannot be certain that contemporary Dhrupad is the same is that of the Mughal era.

		A painting of Krishna with herd of cows carries metaphysical and erotic overtones; a picture of lovers suggests, for example, a musical key and the season of the year.
