“I know of no place so pleasant in climate and as pretty in scenery as Mandu during the rains." Emperor Jahangir showered Mandu with such kind words of praise and I am sure you too will be forced to utter these same words after your Tour to Mandu.
Mandu is a beautiful plateau. Nature has indeed been very generous and has gifted it with a lot of scenic beauty. In the monsoons, Mandu adorns a cloak of green. The numerous water bodies are full to the brim. The rippling brooks, the lakes, the ponds and the greenery all around - it is indeed a magnificent sight to behold. It is the Nature lovers’ perfect place for vacation. What more can one ask for than to spend your precious holidays in such close proximity to nature.
But Mandu is not just renowned for its natural beauty. Mandu is a treasure trove of magnificent palaces, sprawling mansions, majestic tombs and splendid mosques. All who are interested in history and architecture will definitely be very keen on a Tour to Mandu. The historical monuments of Mandu built mostly between 1401 A.D. and 1526 A.D. reflect noteworthy architectural skills. Words fail to express the stunning brilliance of each of the structures in Mandu.
Some of the brilliant palaces in Mandu that should not be missed on your Tour to Mandu are the Hindola Mahal, Baz Bahadur Mahal, Asharfi Mahal and Jahaze Mahal. The Jahaze Mahal is located between two lakes Munji Talao and Kanpur Talao. In the monsoons when the lakes are overflowing with water, the palace resembles a ship sailing in water. Surely this is a sight which is sure to remain etched in your memories all your life.
Inspired by the great mosque at Damascus, the Jami Masjid now stands as an august monument on a high ground.
The Tomb of Hoshang Shah is indeed admirable because of its dome, its towers and the beautiful marble lattice work which adorns it. An interesting piece of information related to the tomb is that Shahjahan sent four of his craftsmen to study this tomb in detail before starting the construction of the Taj Mahal.
The Roopmati’s Pavilion is an impressive structure which commands a magnificent view of the River Narmada.
