Jahaz Mahal

Jahaz Mahal  or the Ship Palace is located next to Hauz-i-Shamsi in Mehrauli.








It is inferred to have been built during the Lodi period (1452-1526) as a pleasure resort or a sarai.






  


  



It was so named, since its reflection (illusion) in the surrounding reservoir looked like a ship floating on a lake.
