Jahangir mainly patronized which of the following arts?

Painting
Architecture
Sculpture
Music

The correct answer is (a) Painting.

Jahangir was a Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 to 1627. He was a great patron of the arts, and he commissioned many paintings, including portraits of himself and his family. He also wrote a treatise on painting, the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, which is an important source of information about Mughal art.

Jahangir’s patronage of painting had a significant impact on the development of Mughal art. He encouraged artists to experiment with new styles and techniques, and he also commissioned many large-scale works of art, such as murals and frescoes. As a result of Jahangir’s patronage, Mughal painting reached its peak during his reign.

The other options are incorrect because Jahangir did not patronize those arts to the same extent as painting.

(b) Architecture: Jahangir did commission some architectural projects, such as the tomb of his father, Akbar, but he was not as interested in architecture as he was in painting.

(c) Sculpture: Jahangir did not patronize sculpture at all.

(d) Music: Jahangir enjoyed music, but he did not patronize it to the same extent as painting.
