Zafar Mahal, Summer palace in Mehrauli, India.
The palace exhibits red sandstone construction with marble elements, featuring a three-story structure crowned by the multi-chambered dalan viewing chamber.
Built by Akbar Shah II in the 18th century, with the entrance gate reconstructed by Bahadur Shah Zafar II in the 19th century.
The palace grounds contain Moti Masjid, a small mosque built by Bahadur Shah I, and served as a center for the Phool Walon Ki Sair festival.
The entrance features the Hathi Gate, constructed in 1842, which was specifically designed to accommodate the passage of decorated elephants.
Several Mughal emperors' graves lie within the palace grounds, though Bahadur Shah Zafar, who desired burial here, rests in Rangoon.
