'''Jahangiri Mahal''' may be the most noteworthy building inside the [[Agra Fort]] of [[India]]. The Mahal was the principal [[zenana]] (palace for women belonging to the royal household), and was used by the Rajput wives of [[Akbar]]. It is a form of Islamic architecture .<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The palace was built by Akbar for his Hindu wives. It is one of the earliest surviving buildings of Akbar's reign. Jahangir in his memoirs stated that the buildings were erected by his father Akbar but did not take any credit for the construction of Jahangiri palace or Mahal.<ref>[http://indiatourism.ws/uttar_pradesh/agra/agra_fort/14.php Agra Fort]. India Tourism.</ref> During the reign of Jahangir, it is believed to be the residence of his wife, [[Jagat Gosain]], the Princess of Marwar and mother of [[ Mughal emperor]] [[Shah Jahan]]. <ref>{{Cite book|title=Preservation of National Monuments: ...
