It is believed to date back to the Lodi dynasty, which ruled over much of North India from the 15th to the 16th century. The palace is called Jahaz Mahal, which means "Ship Palace," because of its unique shape that resembles a ship floating on water. The palace was built near a large lake, which has since dried up. The palace was likely used as a resting place for travelers and pilgrims, as it was located on a major route between Delhi and the holy city of Ajmer. Jahaz Mahal was built during the reign of Sultan Sikander Lodi in the late 15th century. It was later renovated and expanded by his son, Sultan Ibrahim Lodi. The palace is built of grey stone and features a number of intricate carvings and decorative elements. Over the years, Jahaz Mahal has undergone several restorations and renovations. In the early 20th century, the palace was used as a government warehouse, and many of its original features were damaged or destroyed. In the 1970s, the palace was declared a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and a major restoration project was undertaken. Today, Jahaz Mahal is a popular tourist attraction and is considered an important part of Delhi's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the enduring legacy of the Lodi dynasty. Visitors can explore the palace's many rooms and halls, which offer a glimpse into the lives of the rulers and nobles who once lived there.
