Hindola Mahal, Royal palace in Mandu, India
The Hindola Mahal features a T-shaped design with sloping walls at 77 degrees and five large ogee arches supporting a flat roof structure.
The palace construction began in 1425 during Hoshang Shah's reign and later underwent modifications by Ghiyasuddin Khilji in the late 15th century.
The main hall of the palace served as a durbar where rulers addressed their subjects and conducted administrative meetings with officials.
Visitors can access the palace complex by paying an entry fee of 25 rupees for Indian nationals and 100 rupees for international tourists.
The massive stone buttresses and inclined walls create an optical illusion that makes the structure appear to sway, leading to its name Swinging Palace.
