Shah Jahani Mahal, Mughal royal palace in Agra Fort, India.
The Shah Jahani Mahal stands between the white marble Khas Mahal and red stone Jahangiri Mahal, featuring five nine-cusped arches supported by double pillars.
Emperor Shah Jahan constructed this palace between 1628 and 1635 as his first architectural project in Agra Fort, transforming existing red stone structures.
The palace interior displays the transition of Mughal design preferences from red sandstone to white marble through its decorative elements and structural modifications.
Visitors enter through the Amar Singh Gate of Agra Fort to reach the palace, which contains a central hall, side rooms, and an octagonal tower.
The palace conceals multiple subterranean apartments beneath its main structure, along with Babur's stepwell indicating earlier architectural layers.
