Good historical place but no efforts are put into maintaining or preserving the architecture. It has become a cheap dating spot due to ₹20 entry fee and almost nil presence of tourists. It is situated in the middle and older part of the town which is perfect for peaceful outing but works as negative for this spot because people avoid the route due to narrow streets and traffic congestion, no parking available, no eatery nearby. Also no proper advertisement is done, so you just walk or drive by this place without noticing it. It doesn’t give you any idea that you missed anything from the outside. Once I was waiting for the doctor in the clinic besides main entrance of Sheesh Mahal, when I saw a small hoarding of this place so thought of giving a try. The first and major negative point from the management is that the main entrance is always closed and chained. So first impression in anyone’s mind will be ohh it’s closed. A few places are there in the town worth visiting but either they are closed or not managed properly. There are not many tourist spots in Haryana but Sultanpur National Park & Bird Sanctuary (only reputed tourist attraction which is lush with trees and wildlife) is located just 10 km away from Sheesh Mahal, Farukh Nagar; which can be used to increase the footfall.

The place called Sheesh mahal was residential complex for faujdar khan Governer appointed by Farrukh siyar emperier of mughal saltanat and great grand son of Auragajeb. The Old monument of mughal Era was built in 1733 AD, which is presently in bad condition. Some repair is going on but the condition of mahal is very poor and need urgent major repairs. I found the structure of speech mahal like mini replica of Safdarjung tomb. The village surrounding have number of old structures like Masjid. If preserved it would be likely tourist atractive. The sheesh mahal has tahkhana underground subway route which go upto Bawdi which is half a kilometer away. however being old structure the subway path is closed.

The garden was originally called Azziabad Bagh and is said to have been laid by Izz-un-Nissa the third wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD, as a garden pavilion. She was popularly known by the title "Akbarabadi Mahal". Later on in 1658, when Aurangzeb the son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, defeated his brothers in the battle for the Mughal throne, he chose to crown himself the emperor in this very pavilion (Sheesh Mahal). Once that was done, he led his triumphant army to the Red Fort. This was a resting place for Mughals travelling to northern part of their empire. In 1658, Aurangzeb declared himself as the Emperor at this garden. This beautiful palace was also used as a summer lodge by Britishers Sir David Ochterlony and Lord Metcalfe.

A historic building, nice place to get first hand exp of how old solid residential structures were made using wood and stones . It has few prison cells in basement, and actual walls of the Structure are beautifully preserved .. Nice place if you are appreciate archeological sites .But definitely,not an outing spot.
