Jodha Bai Mahal, Royal palace in Fatehpur Sikri, India.

The rectangular palace features red sandstone walls, multiple courtyards, intricate carvings, and traditional jharokha windows throughout its grand structure.

Emperor Akbar commissioned the construction of this palace in 1569 for his wife Mariam-uz-Zamani, who gave birth to Prince Salim in the same year.

The palace architecture combines Hindu and Persian elements, with a temple inside featuring paintings of Krishna and decorative patterns of swans and elephants.

The palace incorporates thick walls, high ceilings, and strategic window placement to maintain comfortable temperatures during both summer and winter seasons.

The eastern gateway displays distinct Rajasthani architectural elements with guard rooms and triangular ceilings flanking the main entrance.
