Orchha Jahangir Mahal Palace - Frank & Jen Travel India 14
Built in the 17th century by Orchha ruler Vir Singh Deo in honour of Mughal emperor Jahangir, the Jahangir Mahal is a massive castle of architectural beauty. Unfortunately Jen was down with the Delhi Belly, so Frank checked out the palace complex himself.
From high up in Jahangir Mahal, one could see many of Orchha's ancient landmarks. The camera was put into overdrive taking stupendous HDR panoramas of the countryside, and there were few tourists to obstruct the view. If there was one tourist destination in India that could be considered serene, Orchha must be it. Stay tuned for more palaces and temples of Orchha!

Jahangir's bath tub at Agra fort, Uttar Pradesh
Walk through the main entrance of the Agra Fort in Uttar Pradesh. The lithic bath basin is now seen in front of the entrance of the Jahangiri Mahal. This circular bath bowl is carved out of a single block of granite.
Agra Fort was built in the year 1573 under the reign of Akbar – one of the greatest Mughal Emperors. It took more than 4000 workers and eight years of hardship to complete the fort. Knowing the significance of its location, Akbar built the fort to make it the main residence of the Mughals. The fort remained as the main residence of the emperors belonging to the Mughal dynasty until the year 1638. The fort houses numerous impressive structures like the Jahangir Mahal, Khas Mahal, Diwan-i-Khass, Diwan-i-Am, Machchhi Bhawan and Moti Masjid. In 1638, the capital of the Mughal dynasty was moved from Agra to Delhi, causing the Agra Fort to lose its status as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. The fort is separated from its sister monument Taj Mahal by just 2.5 kilometers. Often described as the walled city, Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the fort is a major tourist spot and attracts many tourists from all over the world.

Jahangiri Mahal, the most noteworthy building inside the Agra Fort
Jahangiri Mahal is situated in the south east quadrant of the Fort, where it was effectively protected from public areas. Its outer walls rise with the massive ramparts of the fortress on the river. Its strategic dominance over the surroundings emphasis its Imperial character. The so-called Jahangiri Mahal despite its name, was built by Akbar. It is one of the earliest surviving buildings of Akbar's reign and the earliest palace extant. The Jahangiri Mahal is the only portion of the Fort walls apart from the Gates distinguished by the ornamental treatment accorded to its eastern facade. The architectural setting of the Jahangiri Mahal is defined by clarity, simplicity and integrity of its different components.
Another most striking aspect of the building is the exquisite surface ornamentation including marble inlay and intricate geometric and floral patterns. It has no inscription nor clear mention in contemporary Persian histories, therefore the architectural setting of the palaces of Agra Fort are the source of its historical position. The apparent alignment with Akbar's Palace, baoli and its connection with the subterranean chambers clearly defines the contemporaneity of the Akbari Mahal.
Jahangir in his memoirs has clearly mentioned the buildings were erected by his father Akbar but did not take any credit for the construction of an excellent palace like Jahangiri Mahal. Akbar's authorship of Jahangiri Mahal is therefore obvious both by its architectural setting and historical background and its design at Agra and Fatehpur Sikri is also very well known.
The large facade of the palace is most remarkable for its projecting portico whose lotus parapet is decorated with beautiful merlon in relief, a rectangular opening with carved panels and projecting balconies supported on circular pillars, elegant brackets with Bengal slanting roofs on both sides of the deep pointed shapely arch where decoration with marble lined niches and six pointed stars comparable to the main gate of Purana Qila, New Delhi.
The monotony of the wide eastern walls is broken by series of rectangular openings (darichas) overshadowed by parapet walls with merlons and pillared chhatris on both corners' engaged bastions. Below are the series of marble inlaid outlines of rectangular panels and marble lined niches with lotus buds and marble arches that spring from the elephant trunks which are the modified form of Gaja Lakshmi, a symbol believed to be most auspicious by the Rajput rulers. Below the niches are the square and rectangular panels outlined by marble inlay work. The entire structure is constructed in lakhauri bricks and veneered by finely dressed and carved red sandstone slabs on a one metre high plinth. The red sandstone slabs are so finely joined that no end of a hair can penetrate into the joint as correctly recorded by Abul Fazl, a court historian of Emperor Akbar.
Agra Fort built by Akbar in Red Sandstone when he was through with the consolidation of his power after accession to power in 1654, Agra Fort worked both as a military strategic point as well as the royal residence.
At the end of his life, his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort, a punishment that might not seem so harsh, considering the luxury of the fort, imprisoned Shah Jahan. It is rumored that Shah Jahan died in Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with an excellent view of the Taj Mahal.
The fort contains splendid palaces both in red sandstone and white marble built by two generations of prolific builders Akbar and later Jehangir and Shahjahan. Of the nearly 500 Akbari buildings built in the Bengal and Gujarati traditions only a few have survived, arrayed in a band on the riverfront.
