This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Sheesh Mahal, or Mirror Palace is a hall with walls mosaiced in tiny pieces of mirror in beautiful gemoetric and floral designs. The light is incredible. The sheer number of mirrors and intricacy of the whole place is awe inspiring.

Not to be missed!

Marbel flower

Its monolithic carved marble flower&2 butter flies flying over them ,can see Shesh Mahal piller.The speciality of this design is generally it look like bunch of flower,
if we close, i mean to hide portion of flower,
can see five diffrent pics at one piece.
First ,can see it look like Scorpion,second is Sunflower,third Cobra head,fourth Fish,fifth Elephent trunk.
:) Try when u ever visit there. Or try here on;).

Shesh Mahal,view from Garden.

This Shesh mahal view from Garden.Its small well maintained pretty garden,
with all white marble Mahal's green garden gives, beautiful view for our eyes.

Mirror hall inner hall &wall are well inlayed mirror,it keeps cool at summer.
One can see two littel domes,its not domes,its water tanks,used for keeping water.They had there own cooling system,in those yeares no electricty for airconditioners.
I forget how it works :)),it seems long process,using copper pipes etc .
Walls are marbleflowers, can see outer wall of Mahal.
