Dating from the 15th century, this is the most famous building in Mandu. Built on a narrow strip of land between Munja and Kapur tanks, with a small upper storey like a ship’s bridge (use your imagination), it’s far longer (120m) than it is wide (15m). Ghiyas-ud-din, who is said to have had a harem of 15,000 maidens, constructed its lookouts, scalloped arches, airy rooms and beautiful pleasure pools.
