Watch the stained glass in the windows and the intricate filigree work within Phool Mahal palace suite at the second largest fortress in the world! Phool Mahal (Flower Palace) is one of the most opulent and eminent period rooms in the Mehrangarh Fort. Visitors come here to catch a glimpse of the extravagant lifestyle of the erstwhile rulers. Built by Maharaja Abhaya Singh in the 18th century, it served as a pleasure room for female dancers during his reign. This room is beautifully decorated with its ceiling boasting of rich filigree of gold - plundered from Gujarat after the king's triumph over Sarbuland Khan, a Mughal Governor. At present, the room comprises a rare collection of paintings, royal portraits and the famous raga mala paintings. Source - MMT Special thanks to H.H. Maharaja Ga
