Jahaj Kothi, Historical museum in Firoz Shah palace complex, Hisar district, India.

The Jahaj Kothi exhibits artifacts and inscriptions within a building that resembles a ship's structure, featuring burnt clay bricks and lime mortar construction.

Originally constructed as a Jain temple in the 18th century, the building later became the residence of Irish mercenary George Thomas and military commander James Skinner.

The museum displays a collection of Jain artifacts alongside inscriptions in English and Persian text, representing the diverse cultural influences of the region.

Located opposite the Hisar Bus Stand, the museum provides educational resources and guided tours through the Archaeological Survey of India management.

The structure earned its name 'Jahaj' from its ship-like architectural design, complemented by the nearby Jahaj Pul ramp road.
