Jahangir Palace

I visited the Jahangir Palace today and it was amazing. I visited at the same time as visiting the Agra fort as the ticket covers all sections within the fort. The palace which was built by the ruler Akbar for the royal family and made mostly of marble and red stone. The palace also overlooks Taj Mahal and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Highly recommended to visit if you're in the area.

Jahangir palace is considered amongst the most popular tourist attraction in Agra was built by Akbar for his son, Jahangir for his private residence. It also served as the main residence of Nur Jahan, wife of Jahangir. This palace catch your eyes immediately when you enter the Agra fort.

Jahangir Palace (or Jahangiri Mahal) is a huge red-sandstone palace built by the Mughal ruler Akbar. It was the living complex for the wives of Akbar. It’s an enormous palace. And it stands out from other popular monuments in Agra because of its simplicity and integrity. Akbar built Jahangir Palace as the principal zenana (palace for women belonging to the royal family) for his Rajput wives. Later, it also became the residence of Nur Jahan (Jahangir’s wife). The palace was designed to provide ultimate pleasure and comfort to Jahangir.

Visiting this fort makes you feel part of the history. This fort is very well maintained. At the entry guides will be behind you. They asked Rs 1800 at the entry saying that it is huge. We almost fell for it but resisted as my son was not keen. if you take it outside. We resisted temptation and walked in. After the gates, another guide agreed at one third of the cost outside. I strongly recommend that you take a guide to explain everything. One key part is that even though it looks massive from outside, only 25% of it is actually available for tourists. The remaining fort is under the army. The fort is very well maintained and a must visit place

The palace is at the southern end of the fort complex. It is in really good condition and looks fantastic, especially in late afternoon when the sunlight directly hits the front of the building. One of the first things you will see to the right of you as you walk up the ramp into the fort, and it is absolutely someplace you should take some time to explore.

Akbar had built several palaces in the Agra Fort, and his son and successor Jahangir had added to them. These comprise the Jahangiri Mahal and Akbari Mahal, both approached through a beautiful gate decorated with red sandstone and yellow dholpur stone. The palaces inside are small, made almost completely of red sandstone, very intricately carved, and with some traces of beautiful painted and incised plaster. The Agra Fort ticket, Rs 35 per Indian adult, covers these palaces. An interesting artefact just outside the gate here is Jahangir's bath tub, shaped like a giant tea cup with rough steps on the side to climb in.

The palace was used by Jahangir as his residence during his visits to Agra, and it was also used as a venue for important state functions. The palace was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 16th century as a residence for his son, Jahangir. Jahangir Palace is located inside the Agra Fort complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is made up of red sandstone and has a blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. The palace has four courtyards and a number of chambers and halls. The most notable feature of Jahangir Palace is its stone columned hall, which has a beautiful jali or lattice work screen. Check My Channel- BPS Chauhan VLOGS

Jahangir’s palace is an exemplary place where one can see the beautiful ancient time of maharaja of old time belonging to jahangir. The gate takes one to inside the main fort. Beside there is bath tub of 5 feet heights and 8 feet width where you can see the beautiful lawn and open gate alongside. As per stories it’s not an original place of jahangir rather Akbar’s. It was British who changed it to show case and now it became part of tourists attraction over Akbar’s palace. Visit and see the palace and area of history. I enjoyed hope you do too ❤️❤️
