Photos Of Ashrafi Mahal
Mandu, Madhya Pradesh, India:
Historical Significance: The Ashrafi Mahal was originally constructed in the 15th century by Sultan Mahmud Shah Khilji as a Madrasa (Islamic college) to impart religious and secular education: Later Developments: Sultan Mahmud Khilji later modified and expanded the structure. He added a massive Towe r of Victory (Sapt Manzil), raised to commemorate his military conquest over the Rana of Chitor in 1443 AD. This tower was intended to be seven stories high, though only the ruins of the massive basement remain. The courtyard of the original madrasa was subsequently filled in to create a lofty terrace for a royal mausoleum, which now houses the ruins of the tomb of Sultan Mahmud Khilji himself. The name 'Ashrafi Mahal' translates to 'Palace of Gold Coins', perhaps due to its opulence or a later legend. It is a complex monument representing different phases of construction, shifting from an academic institution to a commemorative tower and finally to a royal tomb: Current Status: Today, the monument is largely in ruins, with only the massive substructure and the remains of the pillared porticos visible, which vividly narrate the story of its ambitious past and the grand vision of its builder, Sultan Mahmud Khilji:
