This is the ancient Mughal capital. It is in perfect condition - apparently as a result of Lord's Curzon efforts -yet there is a ghostly feeling about it. Possibly because for some reason it had to be abandoned after 14 years. We are made to notice the combined features of Hindu and Islamic features which indeed result in an harmonious whole. This is a 'ceremonial' capital so the buildings are not dwarfed by huge fortifications.
Jodh Bai palace, the largest and most important part of the royal harem. exquisite example of combined Hindu and Islamic architecture
