15 Properties in Māndu
Māndu, also known as Mandav, is a historic town located in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Perched on a plateau in the Vindhya Range, Māndu is renowned for its stunning Afghan architecture, rich history, and scenic beauty. The town was originally founded in the 6th century BC and rose to prominence under the rule of the Paramara dynasty. However, it reached its zenith during the reign of the Malwa Sultanate in the 15th century, particularly under Sultan Hoshang Shah and later, Baz Bahadur.
Māndu is often referred to as the "City of Joy" due to its romantic legends and the grandeur of its palaces and forts. The most iconic structure is the Jahaz Mahal, or Ship Palace, which appears to float between two artificial lakes. Other notable sites include the Hindola Mahal, known for its sloping walls, and the tomb of Hoshang Shah, which is considered India's first marble structure and inspired the design of the Taj Mahal.
The town is also famous for the love story of Baz Bahadur and Rani Roopmati, which is immortalized in the Roopmati Pavilion and Baz Bahadur's Palace. The architecture of Māndu is a blend of Hindu and Afghan styles, reflecting the cultural amalgamation of the region.
Surrounded by lush greenery and offering panoramic views of the Narmada River valley, Māndu is a haven for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The town's serene environment and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for those exploring central India.
