Which risk influenced Mughal architects' placement of drains behind 'pietra dura' inlay?

💡 Explanation

Drainage prevents water accumulating behind the pietra dura, where capillary action wicks groundwater containing dissolved salts. Salt crystallization causes spalling within the stone because crystallization pressure exceeds tensile strength, therefore salt damage more than thermal or seismic effects was considered.
