[Original caption] A beautiful palace of red sandstone built either by Akbar (1556-1605) or by Jahanghir (1605-1627). The great central court, its pillars, the carving and ornamentation, are all pure Hindu. For minute and exquisite carving in stone it is pre-eminent. On the N. side is a grand open hall, whose pillars support bracket capitals richly carved and ornamented with pendants. [end]
