Jahaz Mahal, Mughal palace in Mehrauli, India.
The Jahaz Mahal features stone carvings, arched entrances, large courtyards, and corner pavilions overlooking the ancient Hauz-i-Shamsi water reservoir.
Built between 1452 and 1526 during the Lodi Dynasty period, this structure served as accommodation for pilgrims from Afghanistan, Arabia, Iraq, and Turkey.
The palace hosts the annual Phool Walon Ki Sair festival in October, where flower-decorated fans process through the grounds to celebrate Hindu-Muslim unity.
Located at the end of Mehrauli bazaar near Qutub Minar metro station, visitors can explore the palace grounds from sunrise to sunset every day.
The palace received its name because its reflection in the surrounding water created the illusion of a ship floating on the reservoir surface.
