Chappan Mahal Museum is inside the 16th Century building named Chhappan Mahal
Chhapan Mahal was the tomb of an unidentified noble.
In 1899, this tomb was renovated by king of Dhar.
The tomb now called as Chhappan (56) since then.
In 1989 the king of Dhar donated this building for museum.
Exactly 100 years later in 1999 a museum was inaugurated here.
Today it houses sculptures recovered from nearby areas.
A nearby room has exhibits depicting the rural life of the area.
Very few people visit this place. Timing is 9-5. Visiting fee is only Rs5. Guides always avoid this Mahal while showing Mandu to their clients. ASI is not getting expenditure of even maintaining this place from tickets. Plz do visit once.
It's a kind of museum with ancient stone art work.
One section displays tribal life.
It's an I'll maintained place, labels are either gone or illegible. No spot lights on statues,
Archeological department doing nothing to maintain this place.
Must visit.
Chappan Mahal was known for a troop staying area during Mughal time. It has beautiful architecture and this is one of the place from 12 points to visit in Mandu.
Old and rare artefacts in museum. But no maintenance and museum in poor condition. Govt agency ASI doesn't seem to care. However a must see for tourist to see old rich culture.
A must visit place at Mandu if you a genuine history geek as the place exhibits many sculptures from the past and origin of Mandu city. The exhibits also include a small tribal museum but the main attraction are the exhibits belonging to parmara dynasty era. Also there is a beautiful shesashayi sculpture exhibited in a small water pool.
Lovely Small museum in the main and only structure and village life depicted in the hall adjacent to to it. Just beware of some local guides (men) sitting around demanding for a "fee" for photography - this is a lie. Just resist with confidence and they shoo away. Photography/videography everywhere, including inside the museum is free.
No presence of any uniformed security personnel.
Jal mahal is located in middle of Munja lake and is part of the complex housing Jahaz Mahal, Hindola Mahal etc. it's a beautiful structure and reminds of yesteryears grandeur

Nestled in the heart of nature, these small naturally grooved caves hold a unique charm that's deeply rooted in history. These caves, although petite in size, offer a portal into the past, where ancient mysteries and secrets were once concealed. As y
Gada Shah -gdaa shaah- was supplier of stores to the Sultanate. His 'shop' was in fact a large mall like storehouse of goods, residential buildings and so on. To call it a Dukan is funny indeed.
This is a good place to visit in the rainy season and winter season, you will get the proper view from the top of the Mahal. The place is very clean, can't be hygienic. But if you are going to Mandu, visit once.
