Malwa Resort

Mandu, Madhya Pradesh

30/11/2021

It is a celebration in stone of life & joy, of the love of the poet-prince, Baz Bahadur, and his consort, Rani Roopmati. The balladeers of Malva still sing of the romance of these royal lovers and high up on the crest of a hill, Roopmati’s Pavilion still gazes down at Baz Bahadur’s palace. A magnificient expression of Afghan Architecture.
Perched along the Vindhya Ranges, at an altitude of 2,000ft, Mandu, with it’s natural defences, was originally the fort-capital of the Parmar rulers of Malwa. Towards the end of 13th century, it came under the sway of the sultans of Malwa.
It is said that, Baz Bahadur (Bayazid Baz Bahadur Khan) was the son & successor of Shuja’at Khan. He ruled from 1555 – 1562.

Visiting Places

The documents are abbreviated from the documentries of Malwa Resort

Inspired by the great mosque of Damascus, the Jami Masjid, was convinced on a grand scale with a high plinth and a huge domed porchprojecting in the center, the background dominated by similar imposing domes with the intervening space filled by innumerable domes. One is stuck by the hugeness of the building’s proportions and the mosque is enclosed on all sides by huge colonnades with a rich & pleasing variety in the arrangement of arches, pillars & number of bays.

This 120m long Ship Palace built between the 2 artificial lakes, Munj Talao & Kapur Talao, is a elegant 2 storyed parace. Probably, it was built by Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Khilji for his large harem. With its open pavilions, balconies overhanging the water and open terrace, Jahaj Mahal is an imaginative recreation in stone of a royal pleasure craft.

Speciality: Light & Sound

The pavilion was originally built as an army observation post. From its hilltop perch, this gracefull structure with its 2 pavilions was a retreat of the lovely queen, from where she could see Baz Bahadur’s palace & Narmada River flowing through the Nimar Plains far below.
