A mansion which is considered to be the last building of the Mughal period. This too was built for a Begum. Bahadur Shah Zafar built it for his Begum Zeenat Mahal. Perhaps that is why this mansion is called Zeenat Mahal's Haveli.
The Mughals have also had a prominent place in Indian history. All the buildings built by the Mughals are still in the news. But do you know which was the last mansion of the Mughals built in India. Let's know about this. Zeenat Mahal Haveli is called the last mansion of the Mughals in India. This mansion was built in the name of Zeenat Mahal Begum. Even today this mansion is known as Zeenat Mahal Haveli.
Actually, this mansion was built by the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar for his Begum Zeenat Mahal. Perhaps that is why this mansion is called Zeenat Mahal's Haveli. It is located in Mehrauli, Delhi. According to media reports, Bahadur Shah Zafar and Zeenat got married in 1840 and just four years later, this mansion was built in Mehrauli. It is said that at that time, the Mehrauli area of Delhi used to be the stronghold of the Mughals.
It is said that this mansion was specially designed for Zeenat Mahal and when Zeenat used to enter the mansion, shehnai used to be played here. The whole mansion used to be immersed in the tune of melodious music. Bahadur Shah Zafar himself used to go to this mansion to meet Zeenat Mahal. Zeenat Mahal died in 1886. This is where the bad days of this mansion started.
In what condition is the mansion today?
It is said that this Zeenat Mahal mansion, which was once the luxurious mansion of the beautiful queen, has now turned into ruins. Later, this mansion was captured by the British. Not only this, according to a report, the British later used this mansion to bury the dead bodies of people. After this, it was also called a haunted mansion and no one used to go here. Even today this mansion is in the same condition. Now it remains completely closed.
