This is a mausoleum that enshrines the remains of Mumtaz Mahal's parents, her first husband and first child plus her close lady in waiting. This was a piece of history that I didnt know whereby she had an earlier marriage. All the while she had been associated with Shah Jahan and the Taj Mahal. The building is a smaller version of Taj Mahal and with lesser architectural finery when compared to Taj Mahal. Nevertheless the architecture is very much like that of Taj Mahal where Iranian workmanship can be seem on the walls. Scriptures were crafted into the stones of the wall and the way the mausoleum was built ensured that the 4 corners be used to entomb the related figures to Mumtaz. You cant leave Agra without seeing this.

The Panch Mahal is a rectangular building, comprising five levels of colonnaded terraces open on all sides. Some of the columns form pavilions. Some of the columns are so thin and elegant, combined with the red sandstone glinting off the sunlight makes an already picturesque building look beautiful. My guide told me that the use of the building was not known for certain, but it was probably used as a harem and place of entertainment and relaxation.

The intricately carved central column inside Diwan-i-Khas features a combination of Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Buddhist imagery. The decoration was to promote a new religion called Din-i-llahi (God is one). The pillar supports a plinth which connects to the four corners of the room from which the Emperor Akbar used to hold conversations and debates with his ministers.

Set around an enormous courtyard, this palace was the one-time courtyard of Emperor Akbar’s Hindu wife. It features traditional Indian columns, Islamic cupolas and Persian roof tiles.

As the name suggests, this was a special meeting place of Akbar with his 9 special advisors and special people of the society. King sat in the middle on the lotus throne and the advisors on each corner. Below sat the audience. Special place for special decisions so entry and exit of the King was also special. The king could leave from here through secret doors in the walls. Amazing architecture...

There are two identical buildings , one on each side of the Taj Mahal. One is a Mosque and one is a guest house. I believe this is the Mosque.
