Jahangir Mahal, Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India
Story of Jahangir Mahal goes as such…
Akbar dispatched his son Prince Jahangir, Abdul Hasan Asaf Khan and Abu’l-Fazl Ibn Mubarak to capture the city of hOrchha,which was in the forefront of revolt against the Mughals. Jahangir arrived with a strong force and after many ferocious battles made the Bundela King Vir Singh Deo surrender with an undertaking never to break an alliance with Akbar.
Jahangir Mahal was built in 17 century AD in the honour of the visit of Prince Jahangir to Orchha subsequent to the signing of the pact.
Vir Singh Deo later killed Abu’l-Fazl Ibn Mubarak in the year 1602, during Jahangir’s succession to the Mughal throne and remained a fugitive until his death.
