Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours

Closed in: None

Jahangir Palace, located within the Agra Fort in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, is a blend of architectural styles reflecting both Mughal and Rajputana aesthetics. Constructed by Emperor Akbar for his son Jahangir, the palace stands as a symbol of the opulence and power of the Mughal Empire. The palace was used as the principal zenana (private quarters for women belonging to the royal household), and also served as Jahangir's residence for some time. The structure is notable for its ornate carvings, the geometric perfection of its layout, and the intricate jali (lattice screen) work that reflects the interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene ambience. Broad chhatris (cupolas) and robust pillars exhibit a fusion of Timurid customs and the local craftsmanship. The Jahangir Palace is an exemplary representation of the cultural confluence that occurred during the pinnacle of the Mughal era.
