The Magic of Mandu

A view of the Jahaz Mahal (Ship Palace) which is called so because of its structure which resembles a ship since it is flanked by water bodies on three sides and when you're on the upper level, it seems like you are floating amidst the sea.This palace was built by Ghiyas-ud-din, son of Mohammed Shah, for his harem. According to the legends, this harem was home to 16,000 maidens which he used to seize during battles.
