Detailed Solution

Eight Paradises refers to Hasht Bihisht.
Architecture became increasingly complex during the Mughal reign. Timur’s tombs inspired Akbar’s architects. The tall gateway or pishtaq and the central dome became important characteristics of Mughal architecture, and they were first seen in Humayun’s tomb, which is based on hasht bihisht. The tomb is constructed in the tradition of hasht bihisht or “eight paradises,” where eight rooms surround a central hall.
