My favorite part of the Agra Fort was the Khas Mahal. Intricately made with impressive roof and over-all architecture. Khas means special in Hindi and these were the private chambers of the Mughal King Shah Jehan himself.

Its a nice view and we can also see how good the engineering and architecture was at that period. Its in the Agra fort structure itself and we can see it on our walk on the fort.

When you consider that it was built around 1631 the complexity of the work is astounding. That it remains in such amazing condition today... More

Built by Shah Jehan between 1631-40, 'Khas Mahal' or 'Aramgah-i-Muqaddar' has river on the one side and Anguri Bagh on the other.
