Jal Mahal, Water palace and fortification in Narnaul, India
The palace stands on an artificial lake with a fortified gateway on the northern edge connected by a causeway to the central structure.
Shah Quli Khan, a governor under Mughal Emperor Akbar, constructed this palace in 1591 as part of his architectural initiatives in the region.
The structure exhibits a combination of Mughal architectural elements across its 11-acre compound, featuring decorative inscriptions celebrating military victories.
The palace requires restoration work estimated at 30 lakh rupees to rebuild a collapsed partition wall and refill the dried-up water bodies.
The artificial lake was designed to represent the Islamic concept of the Pond of Abundance, integrating religious symbolism into its architectural layout.
