Jahaz Mahal, or Ship Palace, is a historical edifice in Delhi's Mehrauli area, dating back to the Lodi dynasty in the late 15th century. Named for its reflection on the Hauz-i-Shamsi reservoir, which gives it the illusion of floating on water, it served as a retreat for royalty and a resting place for pilgrims. Today, it stands as a reminder of Delhi's rich past, hosting cultural events like the Phool Walon Ki Sair.
