Jali Mahal is a historic monument located in Mandu, Madhya Pradesh, known for its distinctive stone latticework (jali) from which it derives its name. Believed to date to the Malwa Sultanate period, the structure reflects refined Indo-Islamic architectural sensibilities, with perforated screens designed to allow airflow, light, and privacy while keeping interiors cool. Though the building now stands largely in ruins, the remaining walls, arches, and traces of lattice design hint at its former elegance and functional planning. Set amid Mandu’s expansive plateau and surrounded by other medieval structures, Jali Mahal is a quiet yet evocative site for travelers interested in architecture, history, and Mandu’s lesser-known heritage monuments.
