The Man Mandir palace was built during the reign of Man Singh (1486-1516) and it is an excellent example of beautiful architecture. One important aspect of this palace is that it utilizes glazed tiles in different colours blue and brown to depict interesting designs along the interior as well as outside walls. Some of the figures depicted are ducks, elephants, peacocks, and lions. It has four storeys. Please carry a torch light with you because some of the steps are dark. Mughals captured this fort in 16th century and used it as prison. In the lower level rooms one can still see places where people were tortured. Guru Hargobind, the sixth guru of the Sikhs was prisoned here who when released also helped release some 50+ Rajas along with him. Keep the ticket purchased here because it would be required for other attractions in the Gwalior fort.
