Who built an elegant two-storey ‘ship palace’ between two reservoirs named Jahaaz Mahal?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khilji.
The Jahaaz Mahal (meaning “Ship Palace”) is an elegant two-storey palace located in Mandu, Madhya Pradesh. It was built by Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khilji of the Malwa region during the 15th century. The palace is situated between two artificial lakes (reservoirs), giving it the appearance of floating on water, hence the name “Ship Palace.” The other rulers—Alauddin Khalji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq—were associated with Delhi and other regions, not with this architectural marvel in Mandu.
