Introduction:
Jahangiri Mahal is the most important building of the Akbari period and the most significant building inside the Agra Fort. The Jahangir Mahal was the principal zenana palace. A splendid gateway leads to an interior courtyard surrounded by grand halls covered with profuse carvings on stone, heavily fashioned brackets, piers, and crossbeams. The zenana palce was built for women belonging to the royal household and was mainly used by the Rajput wives of Akbar.

The Jahangir Mahal in Agra boasts a splendid gateway which leads to an interior courtyard surrounded by grand halls covered with profuse carvings on stone, heavily fashioned brackets, piers, and crossbeams. You can still spot the remains of decorations in gold and blue done in the prevalent Persian style. The features of the Jahangir Mahal are mixed in Transoxanian or Central Asian features such as the verandah on the east front with its high slender columns with courtyard halls styled in the broader Gujarat-Malwa-Rajasthan tradition. This tradition has been passed onto the Mughals by the architecture of Raja Man Singh of Gwalior in the early 16 th century.
