Chaman Mahal Islamnagar

The place is beautiful but could have been maintained better. Caretakers are not friendly and I wouldn’t call the place clean. But it’s good if you ignore the mess and enjoy the history.

Beautiful heritage palace. More than 300 years old

Chaman Mahal built by founder of Bhopal Dost Mohammad in the Islam Nagar fort is a beautiful synthesis of Malwa-Mughal architecture. It is lavishly decorated with floral motifs. A beautiful charbagh garden with pools and fountains surrounds the palace. The fountains and the fine Hamam baths though no longer filled with fragrant water still remind one of the flamboyance of a bygone era.

300 year old palace-fort built by Dost Mohammad in 1715, that very few people know of. A little outside Bhopal, MP, India. Well maintained, clean with signages that tell you of its history and importance. Absolutely recommend it.

Just on the outskirts of Bhopal, situated the beautiful reminder of history which is the Chaman Mahal in Islamnagar. It stands amidst the luxuriant gardens and fountains, the arches of this red sandstone structure is beautifully festooned with floral motifs. Head to this lovely monsoon spot and enjoy greenery on both sides of the road while driving.
