Which consequence occurred when artisans used overly porous materials for pietra dura inlay within Mughal structures' walls?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated decay occurred because the porous material allowed moisture ingress, resulting in salt crystallization and increased weathering; the capillary action damages the mortar, therefore the inlay becomes detached earlier rather than structural damage occurring.
