It is not worthwhile to visit this Mahal. It may be historical, but the location has been lost, and it is home of many people.  It is not a place to visit, and you will be disappointed if you do. Instead, there are two MAhals nearby, one of which is under renovation, and the other is GOUHAR MAHAL. Its infrastructure has been dismantled and is no longer maintained by anyone. It feels more like a home than a Mahal or an old house. I was very disappointed to put this on my list of places to visit. As a result, it is not necessary to pay a visit.

Even though the outer facade is beautiful and colorful, the inner halls are closed for public.No body wants to protect the mahal as the open space inside the mahal is used by restuarents and life is busy as usual.

This royal building is situated at the entrance to the Chowk area in the heart of the walled city. Shaukat Mahal is a 19th century palace which was designed by a Frenchman, said to be a descendent the Bourbon kings. It combines Indo-Saracenic and Rococo architectural styles. The exterior of the palace is also carved with exquisite floral patterns that give the Mahal a very eco-friendly appearance. The Shaukat Mahal is flanked by the Sadar Manzil which served as a Hall of Public Audience during the princely period. This brick-red building has an ostentatious appearance, and the gardens that surround the palace makes the Manzil look very pretty.The aesthetical interest of the castle, finish with overwhelming utilization of white alabaster and highlighting a progression of complex triangular molded curves on its roof, was additionally upgraded by flawless outsides decorated with sensitive flower designs giving it an eco-accommodating appearance. Indeed, even following two centuries, the magnificence and wonder of this authentic landmark stays unmatched in the city. Sightseers going to the site are certain to be left totally speechless with its charming magnificence and aesthetic interest. When going by Shaukat Mahal, do travel to the colorful red block building Sadar Manzil that encompasses the royal residence. The splendid red of Sadar Manzil impeccably supplements the smooth white development of Shaukat Mahal and the rich gardens here further add that touch of greenery to the postcard culminate setting of these two excellent structures. Numerous a times, exceptional qawwali programs are additionally sorted out in the patio nurseries amid nighttimes. The background of flawlessly lit Shaukat Mahal gives that mysterious feel to the entire environment. In the event that you get a shot, do go to this melodic execution and absorb your souls the Nawabi spirits of Bhopal.

The Shaukat Mahal is one of the architectural curiosities of Bhopal. Situated right at the entrance of the Chowk area, the Mahal is a blend of both oriental and occidental styles of architecture. The Shaukat Mahal was another important building constructed during Sikander Begums tenure. It is a strange mixture of Indo-Islamic and European styles of architecture. It was designed by a Frenchman, a descendant of the Bourbon Kings of France. Post Renaissance and Gothic styles have been combined in an enchanting manner in the building. The building is very different from the rest of the Islamic architecture in the vicinity. The exterior of the palace is also carved with exquisite floral patterns that give the Mahal a very eco-friendly appearance. The Shaukat Mahal is flanked by the Sadar Manzil which served as a Hall of Public Audience during the princely period. This brick-red building has an ostentatious appearance, and the gardens that surround the palace makes the Manzil look very pretty.

Sikander Begum (1844-68), who had great administrative ability. She brought about various reforms, such as providing proper roads, lighting, and opening schools and madarasas. She built the beautiful Moti Masjid, Moti Mahal and Shaukat Mahal.The life of this 200 years old city swirls around its heritage and culture. Bhopal has many tourist attractions like Bada Talab, Van Vihar National Park, Taj-ul-Masajid, Moti Mahal, Gauhar Mahal etc. Although, Bhopal becomes even more scenic and beautiful during the monsoon season, city’s weather is always pleasant!

Review №75

Shaukat Mahal is the amalgamation of Islamic and Hindu architecture making it a rare combination that you would not find anywhere else. The building is located in the busy Chowk area of Bhopal. The Mahal is a tender melange of the occidental and oriental styles of architecture and art. It is said that the place has been designed and conceived by a Frenchman.Shaukat Mahal depicts more of Islamic style in its architecture. In addition, the post Renaissance, gothic and medieval styles have blended harmoniously to make this place unique. The building is constructed with intricate floral patterns on the walls that showcase the true beautiful architectural work.

Once in Bhopal a visit to shaukat mahal is a must to see thee the mughal arhitect if lucky you get chance to visit inside as there is a state govt. Office. It is an amazing experience to read about a place with it in the eyesight. Its a pleasure to watch this piece of architecture. Located at the Old City area. Situated at the centre of Chowk area, this is an old and authentic palace and a really nice location for photoshoots!

One of the most neglected historical buildings in Bhopal. This mahal is of national importance but is not at all maintained. Its currently used as the Municipal Corporation office and most parts of the building are breaking down. The administration needs to look into it or else we will lose one of the attractions in the city.
