Sheesh Mahal to Become a New Hub of Heritage and Tourism
The Sheesh Mahal, with its roots in Mughal-era architecture, is one of the iconic landmarks of Shalimar Bagh in North Delhi. Following its meticulous restoration, the site is now expected to become a new highlight on Delhi’s tourism map.

The inauguration clearly reflects the joint commitment of both the Delhi and Central governments towards the conservation of India’s cultural heritage. The restored Sheesh Mahal stands as a shining example of this shared vision.
