Golden Pavilions

Destination

Golden Pavilions: The curved chala roofs of the small pavilions by the Khaas Mahal are based on the roof shape of Bengali village huts constructed out of curved bamboo, designed to keep off heavy rains. The shape was first expressed in stone by the sultans of Bengal. Theses pavilions are tradtionally associated with shahjahan's daughters: Roshnara and Jahannara Begum.
