Let me tell you that not only the Mughal but this Sheesh Mahal has also been under the British officials. After the end of the British Raj, this palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India. Since then, this Sheesh Mahal was just taken care of. The tourist was not allowed to go here. But now after about 370 years, this palace has been opened to the general public.
Talking about the specialty of this Sheesh Mahal, it has been made of red sandstone. Kangra and Rajasthani painting are seen in its walls. Also, you will also get to see the absent architecture here. The palace has a central hall and 3 arches have been built. It looks very beautiful in appearance, which is made here once to see.
Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat along with Delhi CM Rekha Gupta also attended the inauguration of Sheesh Mahal. It has been inaugurated only a few days. In such a situation, no information has been revealed about its ticket prize and timing of walking. But it is being said that this Sheesh Mahal will be open seven days a week. This Sheesh Mahal is located in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, which is near Metro Station Shalimar Bagh.
