Zenana

The furthermost and oldest section of the fort was converted into the Zenana or "women's quarters" by Man Singh I to house his 12 wives and concubines. The apartments bear the distinct stamp of Mughal zenana architecture, with screens and covered balconies for the protection and purdah of the royal ladies. Faint traces of frescoes are still visible on the walls. The photo to the left shows the entrances to the quarters of the individual queens, behind the Baradari, while the center photo shows an close-up of the wall opposite this, where the emperor had his quarters. On the left is a fresco from the emperor's quarters.
