The vestiges, although a much reduced since their heyday, still convey a sense of how magnificent the complex must have been at the height of Mughal power. A row of arcaded shops just inside the main gates, today known as Meena Bazaar, was originally installed so the women of the palace could shop for clothes and jewellery without leaving purdah. It looks largely as it would have in the Mughal era.

Thankfully, some of the finest structures survived the British onslaught, among them the intricately decorated Mumtaz Mahal, where the chief consort and her entourage resided, and the Diwan-i-Khas, or ‘Hall of Public Audience’, where the Peacock Throne once stood. Beyond lie the remnants of the fort’s most palatial royal apartments, bath, and the tower where the emperor would show himself to his subjects each morning.
