Jahaz mahal is the most beautiful place to visit in the Mandav fort. It is an unique structure for a Mahal. The Mahal/palace has many different parts to visit like Hindola mahal, Kapoor Talab and Hindu bavadi. The most interesting place is the open theater, the guide did sing a song for us to demonstrate the acoustic design of it and it was mind blowing. We were able to listen to him even at very low pitch. The most royal aspect of the architecture is the pool on the terrace facing two water bodies on each side of the palace. It takes 3 to 4 hours to cover all places of interests in the palace. carry a back pack with plenty of water as there is lot to cover on foot inside the Mahal.

Visited a couple of months ago. Exceptionally poor maintenance and upkeep. Broken stairs. Nut bolted doors. Feathers of pigeons, garbage, used bottles thrown around monument. The walls stank of urine and the crevices were choked with bottle caps and nails. Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

It was one of the stops on my Intachh heritage walk in Mehrauli. The actual use of this building is unclear, but in Mughal era, used to be situated on the bank of Hauz-e-shams, hence the name Jahaz Mahal i guess. It still is one of the stops in the Phulon ki sair which is an annual event. Not really well maintained, but interesting to see some of these old buildings.

A beautiful palace in the centre of the market. There can be two reasons why this place have been built: 1. This building provide transit accommodation to the large number of pilgrims from middle east countries who came to visit the many muslim shrines in Delhi. 2. This building was built as a retreat for the emperors, Akbar Shah II and Bahadur Shah II and their families, during the summer months, away from the heat and dust of Delhi. Now we will leave to you to finalise.

My experience was awsome as I have interest in history so it's obvious that the worst place for some people is the best place for me. Constructed between 1451- 1526 AD. It's a court yard, rectangular in shape, it has many chhatris. There is small mosouqe. You can see and explore more if you visit there. There's cultural event also in the month of October known as " phool walon ki sair " . This Mahal Built in lodi dynasty .. 10-15 minutes of walking from Chhtaerpaur metro station. Jahaz Mahal, there are two stroies of this ship palace.. (1)- reason for building this Mahal was to provide transit accommodation as a Sarai (inn) to the large number of pilgrims from Afghanistan, Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Morocco and turkey who came to Delhi to visit the many Muslim shrines. Another reason (2)- it was Built as a retreat for the emperors , Akbar shah-2 and Bahadur shah -2 and there families, during the summer months, away from the heat and dust of Delhi.

Taken care by ASI, Qutab minar is the nearest metro station. Felt bad to see people playing cards in the park near. Very little place for parking. Narrow congested road. But if u like clicking pic and mad about to see old architecture spare some time for it when passing by.

The historical structure Jahaz mahal is constructed wihtin the mehrauli area . The moat around it has been dried up but it is atleast one time.

Jahaz Mahal in Mehrauli, Delhi, is a historical gem renowned for its ship-like architecture, earning it the name "Jahaz Mahal," meaning "Ship Palace." This architectural marvel was built during the Lodi dynasty, under the reign of Sultan Sikandar Lodi in the early 16th century. It stands as a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Lodi dynasty, showcasing their grandeur and sophistication. However, it is disheartening to witness the neglect this site faces. Despite its importance, the lack of maintenance and preservation efforts is evident, with litter scattered around, diminishing its beauty and historical value. It's imperative that the Archaeological Survey of India takes proactive measures to preserve and safeguard Jahaz Mahal, ensuring it remains a cherished destination for future generations to admire and appreciate.
