Legendary Romance

Mandu is an ancient city going back to the 6th century. It came into prominence due to its strategic location and was the capital of the Malwa Kingdom for a period in history. The city is most well known for the romance between an Afghan King Baz Bahadur and a Hindu singer Roopmati which also changed the course of history of the Malwa region as well as that of the Delhi Sultanate.

Baz Bahadur Palace

The Palace was built in 1509 by the last Afghan sultan of Malwa, Baz Bahadur. The 2 storied Palace has magnificent arches at the entrance. During its hey days an aqueduct used to run through the arches into the Palace courtyard. The terrace is adorned with elevated dome pavilions.

Roopmati Pavilion

It is magnificent expression of Afghan architecture in sandstone. The Palace overlooks the Nimar Valley and looks majestic while perched on the edge of a precipice . The original intent of this structure was to act as an observation post for the royal army. After the couple fell in love, it was transformed with extensions to enable Roopmati to worship the river Narmada for the well being of her love.

Jami Masjid

Jami Masjid is one of India’s largest mosques. It was inspired by the Umayyad Mosque, the Great Mosque of Damascus. Started by Sultan Hoshang Shah Ghori , it was completed in 1454 A.D. by Mahmud Shah Khilji. It is a magnificent specimen of architecture with Jali work and painted enamels and embellished with beautiful domes and arches

Ashrafi Mahal

The palace of gold coins is actually a Madrassa or a place of learning Islamic education. There was a 7-storied tower built here to celebrate the victory of Mahmud Shah Khilji over Rana Khumba of Mewar. Only 1 storey has survived the ravage of time and we can see that.

Jahaz Mahal

Jahaz Mahal or the Ship Palace was built by Ghiyasuddin to house the 15000 women in his harem. The structure resembles a ship and in hits hey days was a splendid Palace with big halls, cenotaphs on the upper floors and Turkish baths on the lower floor, equipped with arrangements for hot and cold water
