Romancing the monsoon in the mystical Mandu


Rains have always transformed Mandu from a beautifully planned and laid out city into a mesmerizing world of royalty which existed 700 years ago.
Dotted with numerous lakes, palaces, mosques, stepped tanks and an array of sarais for travellers and military, Mandu is sheer magic in rains. It is a celebration of life in stone and an awe inspiring example of Islamic architecture. 
Perched 2000 ft above sea level along the Vindhya ranges in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, Mandu was basically designed to serve as a military outpost.
Jahaz Mahal is by far the most beautiful structure that dominates Mandu landscape. Built by Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din-Khilji in 14 century to serve as his harem, it became a showpiece pleasure resort of Mughals. Surrounded by artificial lakes on both sides this two storied architectural marvel has been so named as it looks like a ship in a lake.
Jahaz Mahal must have been a pure white structure at the height of its glory with blue persian glazed tiles adding to its beauty. The structure now beret of its once white shine, glows golden in sunlight offering a breadth taking view.
