Jehangir Mahal

Jahangir Mahal has 236 chambers laid around a vast, central courtyard, out of which a total of 136 lie underground. The floors are arranged in tiers that ascend or descend in a random yet spectacular manner. This, accompanied by massive bastions in its four corners, tends to make the palace look like a fort from the outsideuniform, sturdy, solid and impenetrable- defended by a massive wooden gate that completes its fort like aura.

Built in honor of Mughal Emperor Jehangir, this palace is a stunning fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture. It features grand gateways, delicate lattice windows, and domed pavilions that offer panoramic views of Orchha.
