While roaming around in Agra Red Fort, we will visit the following buildings:

• Machchi Mahal – Since the word ‘Machchi’ means fish, Machchi Mahal is a palace near a fish pond. Mughal emperors like Shah Jahan and Akbar used to relax themselves here by watching the fish swim in the waters.
• Jahangiri Mahal – This is a very large palace inside Red Fort and it used to be the residence of Jahangir. What sets Jahangiri Mahal from other palaces is its size and beautiful arches and doors.
