Kanch Mahal
The Kanch Mahal, located near Akbar's Tomb in Sikandra, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, is a stunning example of Mughal domestic architecture. Built between 1605 and 1619 during the reign of Emperor Jahangir, this two-story structure was originally designed as a palace for royal women. Later, it also served as a hunting lodge for the Mughal royals.
The name "Kanch Mahal" translates to "Glass Palace," reflecting the intricate tile work and glass mosaics that adorn its walls. The building features a square layout, with a central hall surrounded by smaller rooms, and is decorated with red sandstone carvings, geometric patterns, and floral motifs.
It was once surrounded by a beautiful Mughal garden with water channels and pathways, adding to its charm.
