The fort is known for its intricate carvings and beautiful sculptures, which blend Indian, Persian, Turkish, and Islamic architectural styles.
One of the main attractions of Shahi Qila is the royal bath, built for Shah Jahan's wife, Begum Mumtaz Mahal. The bath features domed roofs and is beautifully decorated with paintings on honeycomb work. This hammam is a testament to the luxurious lifestyle and advanced engineering skills of the Mughal era.
