ASHRAFI MAHAL
Capital : Bhopal
Tourist Attractions : Bhopal, Sanchi, Gwalior, Khajuraho, Ujjain, Indore and Mundu
Best Time To Visit : October to March.
This was essentially build as Madrassa, a place for Islamic
teaching. Even today the rooms and cells tell a story of teaching and
studying. The name means palace of gold and was build by Mahmud Shah
Khilji. The Ashrafi Mahal faces the Jami Masjid. In the same complex are
few others structures. There is a tower which was seven storied high when
built. This tower was built to celebrate the victory of Mahmud Shah Khilji
over Rana Khumba of Mewar. Sadly out of the seven stories only one
survives today. In the same premises are ruins of tomb which was intended
to be largest structure of Mandu. But the structure collapsed due to
faulty construction and bad planning. When compared with other structures
Ashrafi Mahal is in very good shape of preservation.
