Jehangir's Palace, Agra Fort

One of the pleasures of the Agra Fort is exploring its many hidden corridors and palaces. Here we have part of Jehangiri Mahal, the Palace of crown prince Jehangir, who became emperor after the passing of this father, Akbar. It's an interesting structure, largely for its heavy borrowing of Hindu elements in the architecture. It's no wonder, considering that Akbar, a central Asian Muslim, employed Hindus as his designers and chief builders.
