Bengal roofs

Bengal roofs are sloping dome-shaped roofs with drawn-down corners associated with late Mughal and Rajput architecture of Northern India. It is believed that stone roofs of this type did not emerge until the 16th century and can be traced back to rural models with straw or reed roofs in the rainy regions of Bengal.
