Zenana Mahal

Location

Zenana Mahal (also known as Zenana Deodi) was the Queen’s palace during the rule of the royal dynasty. This special building, which was once privileged to the ladies of the palace, is in the imposing Mehrangarh Fort, which is situated five kilometres away from the main city of Jodhpur.

The palace, said to have been guarded by eunuchs during the era of the king’s rule, was the place where the many wives of the king and their cohorts spent most of their merry time. The building even now has an exotic and sensuous charm to it, with its smooth sandstone screens and attractive rock carvings.
