Moti Mahal




Moti Mahal, also known as pearl palace, lies on the banks of Gomati River. It was built by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan and its balconies were used by the royal family to watch animal combats, which were held on the other side of the river.

Shah Manzil and the Mubarak Manzil were later added on the main structure by Ghazi-ud-din Haider. The rulers also used this building for bird watching.
