Akbari Mahal, Royal palace in Agra Fort, India.

The stone structure contains a large courtyard surrounded by chambers, with remaining suites visible along the eastern section of the complex.

Emperor Akbar commissioned this residential palace between 1565 and 1569 as part of his extensive renovation program within the Agra Fort.

The palace design incorporated specific features for women in the harem, including separate living quarters and a dedicated entrance system for privacy.

Located 4.5 kilometers from Agra Cantonment Railway Station, the palace can be visited with the general admission ticket to Agra Fort.

The Bengali Burj section contains a square hall with arched aisles and chevron patterns decorating the nook-shafts of its architectural elements.
