Another story was about another big palace that was a gift to a Moghul prince. It was gifted on the day before he left to travel somewhere. He died so the palace was only used for one night. In Hindu custom, once gifted, the building cannot be used by any one else. Some of us climbed all the way to the top of the king's palace. It was hard work as the stairs were steep with high steps.  Bill, nursing a sore knee, opted to stay down in the cool A/C lobby room of the hotel (which was once also part of the palace complex). Sue-On complained that the climb both up and down was a challenge for this old grandma.  Later we were in a good position on the palace terrace to catch the sunset over the temples and palace spires.

The domes of the Jahangir Mahal, were built according to Timurid customs; its grand Iwans are large enough to accommodate the entry of war elephants, and its high position over the landscape allowed cannons superior range. 

The fort complex, which is accessed from an arched causeway, leads to a large gateway. This is followed by a large quadrangular open yard surrounded by palaces, a temple, gardens and pavilions and Sheesh Mahal, built for royal accomodation but now converted to a hotel. The interior of this edifice consists of a huge impressive hall with high ceiling, which is the dining hall.

The battlements of the fort have ornamentation. Notable architectural features in the fort complex are projected balconies, open flat areas and decorated latticed windows.
