Rani Roopmati Palace

Reviewed By JoyBoseRoy - Bengaluru, India

This palace is on top of the hill, so one needs to climb a number of steps to reach this place. Alternatively one can drive part of the distance if one has a car, but still a certain amount of climbing cannot be avoided. The views are magnificient, one can even see the river and all the surrounding mandu palaces and the countryside. One can climb to the top of this palace too. The architecture is Islamic (Afghan style) and quite amazing. The arches are very symmetric and one can take lots of photos or just stay for a while and get lost in the beauty. One needs to purchase a ticket to the palace at the base.

Hoshang Shah's Tomb

Reviewed By prabhakarrahul - Gurugram (Gurgaon), India

If you are mesmerized by the beauty of the Taj Mahal, let me tell you it wasn't the first marble structure built in India. Hoshang's Tomb is regarded as the oldest marble edifice, one of the most refined examples of Afghan architecture. Built by Hoshangshah Gori (1406-1435 C.E.), this architectural phenomenon is said to have influenced Shah Jahan so much that it served as a perfect template for the construction of the Taj Mahal. I was dumbstruck with utter admiration, just looking at the beautifully proportioned dome, intricate marble latticework, and porticoed courts and towers.

Jami Masjid

Reviewed By curatorofmemories - Hyderabad, India

Begun by Hoshang Shah and completed by Mahmud Khalji in 1454 it was modeled on the mosque of Damascus. The spacious courtyard is enclosed on three sides by colonnaded verandas covered with domes. Across the courtyard to the West is the prayer hall which has 58 small domes and three large ones that dominate the rest. There are 17 carved niches along the western wall. The central niche of mihrab is finest of them and decorated with verses from Quran. Located under the central dome is the raised pulpit which has a miniature marble dome of its own supported by four arches.
