Sheesh Mahal




Built by Nawab Faujdar Khan in 1793, Sheesh Mahal is a major protected monument in Farukhnagar, Gurgaon District, Haryana. This double-storeyed building of local stone, slate and lime has decorative interiors of elaborate mirror work. The artists seem to have been inspired by the Mughal palaces, but did not quite come upto that standard. The building has given way, and not much of its grandeur is intact now.
