      Shahi Mahal: Mandu in the Monsoons

      inMy Travels
      0

      ‪

      The Shahi Mahal built by Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din Shah 1469–1500 is normally eclipsed by Jahaz Mahal but worth a visit for its exquisite ruins ‬

      Especially when it’s raining, wind us blowing, and you are huddled under an umbrella trying to keep it from flying off

      Rain water harvesting seems to have been a passion with these eco friendly sultans as tanks and Baoli abound here

      ‪Of course guide said it’s to cater for his many wives in the harem‬

      jis jagah thii KHuluus kii bastii

      ek khanDar vahaan hai andar tak

      Anand Bahadur

      ‪Rozi roti ‬

      Some people have to work, come rain or sunshine ‪

      #ShahiMahal #ManduInMonsoons ‬

      ‪I swallowed the moon‬

      ‪Main Chand nigal gayi daiyya ‬

      ‪#Mandu #ChampaBaoli #GhiyasuddinShah #ShahiMahal ‬

      ‪( PS: Gulzar shot here for Kinara) ‬

      ‪Arches!‬

      ‪Uski abru ( eyebrows) par qurbaan

      #Mandu gained prominance under the #Paramara dynasty but had already become a hill fort by 6th century

      #DelhiGate

      This is one of the earliest surviving gates of #Mandu.

      Since a metalled road doesn’t pass through it, it’s only used by locals who live around it.
