Jahaz Mahal

Enticing a heavy influx of tourists each day, Jahaz Mahal in Delhi is the real definition of extraordinary beauty. Situated in New Delhi’s Mehrauli area, this excellent monument features amazing engineering and outstanding architecture. Constructed during the reign of the Lodi dynasty, Jahaz Mahal manifests minute detailing and delicate Islamic art.

Don't go there, it's a waste of time and money. I found out about this place through google and google photos had very pretty images of the lake and the fort but in reality the lake was a huge pile of sewage. Also, the roads around this place are very small and crowded which makes it even worse.

Visited it during heritage walks in Delhi. The gorgeous Jahaz Mahal is situated just beside the Hauz-e-Shamsi pond and named thus because apparently its reflection looked like that of a ship in the water. The Mahal can be approached from the main road instead of the side of the resorvoir. The structure has beautiful chhatris with some of the glazed blue tiles still visible. It was said to have been built as a pleasure resort though some historians opine that it was a sarai (inn) for pilgrims arriving from central Asia to visit shrines in Delhi. During Phoolwalon-Ki- Sair, a programme to celebrste amity and harmony, cultural programmes are held in Jahaz Mahal.

Jahaz Mahal is located near Maharaja Agrasen Park and Shamshi Talab in Mehrauli which is being maintained (?) by Archaeological Survey of India. This historical monument is left to one security guard who may not be seen around especially in the morning. Jahaz Mahal can also be seen from the inside provided that its main door is not locked. Look for ASI Security Person who may be around. One has to pass through narrow lanes to reach Jahaz Mahal. Its history is not known nor any information is displayed at the site. Many people can be seen walking in morning in the adjacent Agrasen Park. Disappointed to see that monuments in and around Delhi are not properly maintained. Mahal is almost in ruins. Visit and see yourself.

Nearest metro station is Chattarpur for go to jhaj Mahal it's a cool monument bcz there is samsi pond this monument image showing inside the pond like ship so it's name is ship palace (jhaj Mahal) there is very rushbcz there is monsoon festival on culture and tradition, monument walk of Mehrauli...! It's was a good experience with the stars Javed Ali and many more people's

A single monument adjacent to a water body SHAMSI LAKE. Good place for photography. Unauthorised parking for car and two wheelers available. No entry fees. It is very near to BHULBHULAIYA. So, one can cover both in the same trip.

The place is in a very crowded location... But yes has a lot of historic significance but hasn't been upto the mark like the other monuments are... The government has to look into this and has to promote tourism

This monument is renovated for the CWG and looks great but is encroached on its north side. Samsi talab and Aulia masjid near by makes it an important place. The land on its south-east side across the road is encroached and if a high raise building comes by land mafia it's look is going to be deemed as a monument that is dwarfed by modernization around it.

It might seem to be a really nice monument but it's a really empty and small monument. You can visit it for the sake of "just visiting" but since it's right in the corner of a busy street so you won't get that "delhi monument feel" here

Nothing is there , waste of time to visit ,and in google photos most of pictures from different location . Only 1st 2 photo are original that named as Jahaz mahal esle, and other photos from different part of India. Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No
