Rangeen Mahal

             Rangeen Mahal, meaning “colored palace” was built during the reign of Ali Barid who ruled between 1542 and 1580 AD. It is famous for it’s wood carvings and it exhibits fascinating glazed tile mosaic and pearl decor that was designed by a Persian architect. The ceiling of the hall inside is supported by exquisitely carved wooden columns that present both Hindu and Muslim architecture. Also, the court has water channels with a cistern in the middle.
