Though this palace is currently in ruins,
it might have looked amazing in its glory days. It was built by the Ahmed Nizam
Shah of the Nizami Sultanate around 1583 for his son Burhan Shah.

The palace is two storey's tall. It has a
small pond outside the palace and a similar one inside. The corridors are very
much identical but they have been spoilt due to graffiti. Works of idiots who
want to let people know that they were
there. On the side the ceiling is
beautifully carved. The niche in the walls to hold the lamps is also beautifully
done. This structure has got lots of doors and windows so that there is plenty
of light in its premises.

Though the weather was hot outside, it was
very much cool on the inside. We felt nice walking through the corridors.

Like all good trips come to an end so did
this one. we then headed over the Swastik ST bus stand to board the 1:10 PM bus
to Mumbai (Mumbai Central) The bus
journey takes its toll on our legs as you have to sit in one position
for long time, but the good time we had exploring the history in Ahmednagar
overwrote it.
