The shahjahani mahal is situated between the red stone jehangiri mahal and the white marble khas mahal, and is set transitionally in between these two major complexes of different ages. It is the earliest attempt by the mughal king Shah Jehan to convert an existing red stone building in accordance with his taste, and it is his earliest palace in the fort. It has a large hall with side rooms and an octogonal tower on the river side. The skeletal construction of brick masonry and red stone was all white stuccoed with a thick plaster layer and colorfully painted in floral design.
