Description
The building traditionally known as Jodh Bai’s Palace (1o) is generally thought to be either the main harem quarters or Akbar’s residential palace. It has a guardhouse near its portal and a crooked entrance to ensure security and privacy. The quarters are disposed around a spacious inner courtyard providing a light and airy yet secluded environment. The suites around it are architecturally separated yet interconnected.
