Photos Of Sheesh Mahal
Patiala, Punjab, India
The Sheesh Mahal, or 'Palace of Mirrors', in Patiala is a celebrated structure located within the grounds of the Old Moti Bagh Palace complex (parts of which are now the National Institute of Sports - NIS). Built by Maharaja Narinder Singh (1845–1862), the Mahal is a stunning example of late Sikh and Rajasthani architectural confluence, designed primarily to house the Maharaja's vast art, medal, and painting collection. Its enduring fame, however, comes from the Sheesh Mahal itself—a breathtaking chamber (or sequence of chambers) whose walls and ceilings are intricately inlaid with countless tiny pieces of mirrors and colored glass, creating a dazzling, kaleidoscopic effect, especially when lit. This mirror work is a masterclass in craftsmanship, forming complex geometric, floral, and figural patterns. The Mahal is set in a picturesque location, once featuring a large tank and a suspended rope bridge, the Lakshman Jhula, which connected it to the Bansar Ghar (Natural History Gallery). Today, the complex also houses a large collection of medals from the Maharajas, including rare pieces from Maharaja Ranjit Singh's era. The Mahal is a true artistic treasure trove. Although some areas have deteriorated over time, restoration efforts are ongoing to preserve the delicate mirror work and the beautiful frescoes that adorn other sections of the palace, depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and courtly life. The Sheesh Mahal is not just a palace but a dedicated repository of the Patiala dynasty's artistic and historical wealth.
