Summary
[edit]Description0121521 Mughal Empire Prison and Torture Chambers, Man Singh Palace, Gwalior Fort Madhya Pradesh 02.jpg |
English: The palace was built by Man Singh. It has several floors, with spectacular colorful upper levels. The palace also had two underground floors with deliberately confusing stairs and passages, which in the 16th century were a secret. These lower level floors are now open to public.
Man Singh was killed in 1516 as his army resisted an invasion by Ibrahim Lodi of the Delhi Sultanate. Barbur, the founder of Mughal Empire captured the Man Singh palace a decade later with the help of Mohammad Ghaus based in Gwalior. The Mughals used the lower levels as prison and torture chambers to persecute those they wanted to. The two 16-sided rooms were of particular note. The above image shows stairs and passage ways that lead to the 16-sided rooms. This is where the Sikh Guru Hargobind was imprisoned. It is also here that Aurangzeb imprisoned and executed his brother Murad Baksh as well as two of his nephews. Numerous others were imprisoned, tortured and executed by the Mughals here during the sociopolitical and religious wars of India over 200 years. (For more discussions: Madhya Pradesh: Gwalior by V.S.
