The Shish Mahal (The Glass Palace), Agra Overview
Shish Mahal, also known as the Glass Palace, is a stunning example of Mughal architecture located within the Agra Fort complex. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, this palace was used as a royal summer retreat and a private space for the empress and her attendants. The walls and ceilings are richly decorated with intricate mirror work—tiny pieces of glass embedded into the stucco to create dazzling patterns that reflect light, giving the palace its name.
Designed for luxury and climate control, the palace features hollow walls for water circulation to keep it cool during summers. Although not open to the public interior-wise due to preservation efforts, visitors can still admire its detailed craftsmanship from the outside. Shish Mahal is a symbol of Mughal opulence and innovation and adds depth to any visit to Agra Fort.
