10. Panch Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri
Panch Mahal is a palace in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The Panch Mahal meaning 'Five level Palace' was
commissioned by Akbar This structure stands close to the
Zenana quarters which supports the supposition that it was
used for entertainment and relaxation.

11. HISTORY
Even though Fatehpur Sikri was deserted in less than 15 years from the day it was
built, it has myriad places of marvel for architects and historians, not to miss the
tourists. Most of these being fine examples of Indo-Islamic architectural blend in
India, Panch Mahal too adds to the list. A five-storied structure, Panch Mahal is
famed all over the world for its excellent architectural beauty. Signifying the
unadulterated impression that Buddhism left on the Indian psyche during those
days, Panch Mahal in Agra is built with the Buddhist architectural style.
The palace was constructed as per the design of a Buddhist Temple, to serve as a
pleasure palace for Emperor Akbar. He chiefly used it for his recreation and
amusement purposes. The construction of Panch Mahal was indeed so well
planned that each storey in the palace is pillared and is smaller than the one
below, while moving upwards. With almost 84 columns supporting the ground
floor, the highest vaulted ground has only 4 columns. All and all, the entire edifice
is very spacious and airy and was styled in such a manner as to give relief to the
Emperor from the scorching summer heat of Agra.
