It was got constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a part of his Summer Palace. Its walls and ceiling are inlaid with glass mosaic work, that flows in the dark and produces a surreal twinkling and glittering effect in the semi-dark interior of the palace. It is locked and inaccessible to the public as on date...

Visiting this place is an amazing experience. This place is like stepping into a fairy tale. The walls and ceilings are covered with small pieces of mirrors, which sparkle and shine in the light. It feels magical, like being surrounded by stars. Walking through The Glass Palace, I was in awe of how beautiful everything looked. The mirror work is so detailed and pretty, it's hard to stop looking at it. It's a very special place that shows how creative and skilled people were in making such beautiful art a long time ago. The beauty of the glasses used centuries ago is still continue to retain its beauty. I really enjoyed my visit to The Shish Mahal. It's a unique place that I think everyone should see if they have the chance.

The Shish Mahal is a part of the Khas Mahal complex within the fort and was built by Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century. The palace is known for its intricate design and decoration, including beautiful floral patterns and inlaid work. The palace is made of white marble and is decorated with thousands of tiny mirrors or shishas, which reflect light and create a dazzling effect. The mirrors are set in beautiful floral designs and add to the palace's beauty and charm. The Shish Mahal was used by the Mughal emperors as a private residence and was known for its luxurious amenities, including a beautiful fountain and a private hammam or bath.

The luxurious medieval bathroom of the world 'sheesh mahal' is situated near angoori bagh in Agra fort. There were so many reflectors used to be fixed on the walls and roof inside Sheesh mahal but people put a large number of mirrors out of it unfortunately goverment banned the entry, Sheesh mahal has been a centre of attraction ever itself you can still taste the juice of this creative genre from the outside.

In the past, this was an imperial bath. Mirrors were used both in its walls and ceilings. When illuminated, they would sparkle the entire hall. However, now, the majority of the mirrors are no longer there. Also, there is a metal barrier so you can only see the hall's interior from outside.

Sheesh Mahal is one of the architectural wonders inside the Khas Mahal in Agra Fort. It was commonly used as the Summer Palace by the Mughal princes as it was structured in such a way that it kept the Mahal cool from Agra’s heat. Water devices were installed with fountains and a waterfall inside the Palace. It was originally adorned with the finest glass pieces imported from Syria in order to reflect sunlight into the thick palace walls.
