Synopsis
The term ‘mahal’ in Ashrafi Mahal is a misnomer, as it was not a palace but a madarsa built by Muhammad Shah that serves as his tomb.
The term ‘mahal’ in Ashrafi Mahal is a misnomer, as it was not a palace but a madarsa built by Muhammad Shah that serves as his tomb. After a series of battles with Rana Kumbha of Mewar, which ended in a stalemate, Mohammad Shah built a seven storeyed victory tower in Asrafi Mahal to commemorate his victory. Rana Kumbha erected a tower in Chittod for the same war. As per guides of Mandu, the tower of the truth still stands in Chittod, while the tower of the lie collapsed long back.
