Jal Mahal (Narnaul)

The Jal Mahal, also known as the Jal Mahal of Narnaul or the Water Palace, is a late 16th century palace, fortification, and artificial lake located in Narnaul, Haryana. Built by a Mughal governor of Narnaul, the structure currently serves as a tourist attraction. Description The Jal Mahal was built in 1591 AD by Shah Quli Khan, a member of the nobility of the Mughal empire and the governor of Narnaul. Khan was a protegee of Bairam Khan, an important official in the Mughal court and one-time regent of the empire. He was also a successful military commander who served in the Mughal army under Akbar the Great. The campaigns of Akbar to conquer northern India made Khan wealthy, and the commander distinguished himself by wounding the Suri general Hemu at the Second Battle of Panipat. In gratitude for Khan's service, Akbar granted him titles, wealth, and appointed him as the governor of Narnaul. In addition to being a competent military leader, Khan was a noted architectural patron. Upon being appointed governor, he began a series of construction projects in Narnaul; these projects, the first of which was a tomb (built 1574-75) for himself, are described as being of a "personal sort" and as being different from some of his projects elsewhere in India; furthermore, Khan's projects were noteworthy enough to be recorded in contemporary Mughal texts. 15 years after completing his tomb, Khan began to construct a new palace in Narnaul; this structure became what is now the Jal Mahal. Khan began by creating a square artificial lake (often described as a tank or reservoir) with an island in the center; this lake was intended to form a "second Kausar" (the Pond of Abundance in Muslim paradise) for the palace's occupants. Khan then ordered the construction of a fortified gateway on the northern edge of the lake. Following this, a causeway was built out into the center of the reservoir, where a foundation was laid and a palace built. The construction of the Jal Mahal, its gate, and the lake took 2–3 years. The palace itself was decorated in the style of other Mughal palaces and pavilions; the structure was adorned with art and carvings, including inscriptions that celebrated Khan's famous victory over Hemu. In terms of area, the compound encompasses 11 acres. In the centuries after its completion, the palace's pool gradually filled with earth. This debris was cleared in the late 20th century and the lake restored. References
Baoli Ghaus Ali Shah

Baoli Ghaus Ali Shah, also known as Ghaus Khan ki Baoli, is an 18th-century stepwell located in Farrukhnagar, Gurugram district, Haryana, India. Constructed during the reign of Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar, it was commissioned by Ghaus Ali Shah, a local chief who served under the emperor. Architecture The baoli was built to be a high point for surveying the area and also served as a perennial source of fresh water away from the access of the enemy who might poison or spoil it. The central water tank is approximately 6.5 meters deep, with an arched verandah overlooking the inner core and a well wall for a pulley system on one side. The structure also includes chambers on the upper storeys intended for relaxation and recreation. The lower level houses a small central circular well surrounded by 21 colonnades. Built from stone, lime plaster, and bricks, its construction wears some resemblance with the Turkish hammam and reflects the Mughal architectural style prevalent during the 18th century. Cultural significance Historically, the baoli was used as a water tank catering to the Sheesh Mahal and may have served as a bathing space for women, as evidenced by hidden passages at both ends. In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and protect Baoli Ghaus Ali Shah. See also List of Monuments of National Importance in Haryana Stepwells of Haryana. References

SPS Museum

The Shri Pratap Singh Museum, commonly known as the SPS Museum, is a museum in Wazir Bagh Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Established in 1898, the museum houses a collection of over 80,000 objects from various regions in Northern India. Description History In 1889, a proposal for the foundation of an archaeology museum in the city of Srinagar was formulated by Amar Singh and S.H. Godmerry. Singh was an officer in the British Indian Army, while Godmerry was a scholar. The pair produced and submitted a memorandum to Pratap Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, the ruler of Sringar and Amar's older brother. The Majarah accepted the proposal and agreed to allow for the establishment of a museum; this new institution would house artifacts from Jammu, Kashmir, Baltistan and Gilgit. The museum was to be located inside a state-owned building near the Jhelum river. The establishment of the museum was overseen by John Marshal, a British archaeologist (and future director of the Archaeological Survey of India) who was renowned for his work in preserving the archaeological history of India. Srinagar's Accountant General, one Mr. Blerjee, was appointed as the first president of the museum; Blerjee was also tasked with recording a large collection of coins the museum added to its collection. The museum opened to the public in 1898, with its first collection consisting of items from Majarah Pratap's palace treasury. Following the re-organizational efforts of Indian archaeologist Daya Ram Sahni in 1913, the museum received objects recovered from archaeological excavations in Panderenthan, Parihaspora and Avantipura. The collection of the museum continued to grow through the donation of items by private collectors; many of these items were domestic or household in nature. In 2017, the museum finished constructing a second building. The new building was built to be fire and earthquake resistant, and is used to house some of the SPS's more popular exhibits. The older 19th-century building remains in use.
