Default Jahangir Mahal

Undoubtedly, the most noteworthy building inside Agra Fort is the Jahangir Mahal , which was the principal ladies palace (palace for women belonging to the royal household), used mainly by the Rajput wives of Akbar. A splendid gateway leads to an interior courtyard surrounded by grand halls covered with profuse carvings on stone, heavily fashioned brackets and crossbeams. One can still spot remnants of decoration in gold and blue done in the prevalent Persian style.
