Well we had no intention of visiting Jahangir Mahal which is about 18 km from Jhansi. But by sort of accident we found it on the way to Agra and we were very pleased to do so. It is a huge fort complex built in the memory of Mugahl ruler Jahangir by King Vir Singh Deo in the 17th and is a three-storied storied structure. Looking up various references it is a blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. consisting of numerous large courtyards, more than 100 rooms, balconies, 8 elegant domes, terraces and porches and much more.

The palace is an example of vivid and fine indo-islamic architecture. It was built in 17th century by Maharaja Vir Singh Deo as an honour on Jahangir's maiden visit to Orchha. Elements like marvelous sculptures, hanging balconies, delicate trellis and chhatris, topped domes, etc., represent an excellent architectural brilliance in this palace.

We think of monuments and we think of these feats of scale and architecture. Orchha was a vibrant place where people lived and worked and died. What this project has enabled us to do is narrow down to one individual, gives us insight in a very different way. Jahangir Mahal which is one of the main sightseeing places of Orchha and tourists still get mesmerized by its grandeur and architecture. This palace was built by Veer Singh Dev before the arrival of his best friend Mughal Emperor Jahangir in Orchha in the seventeenth century. When Jahangir rebelled against his father Akbar as a prince and declared himself king in Prayagraj, Veer Singh Deo then the ruler of Orchha, at the behest of his friend Jahangir, beheaded Abul Fazal, one of the courtesans of Mughal emperor Akbar, at Narwar near Shivpuri and sent Jahangir to Prayagraj. As soon as Jahangir became the emperor, Veer Singh Deo was awarded the title of king and during this period, Orchha made extensive progress in the fields of economic, cultural, literary and military power etc. Infact it was the golden period of the Orchha. The main gate of this three-storied palace is in the east which is towards the Betwa river. The main gate made of red sandstone is a unique piece of architecture. On either side of which are sculptures of decorated elephants with bells in their trunks and facing the entrance. The upper storey of the gate is closed by a stone lattice which is the place for the royal ladies to welcome Emperor Jahangir.
