★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was once the capital of Bhopal Riyasat, gardens here are well maintained, but rest of the monuments aren't. The Ticket prices are affordable, but MP Tourism isn't able to capitalise, on this royal heritage of MP.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Originally known as Jagadishpur, the place was founded by the local Rajput chieftains.[3] In the early 18th century, the place was captured and renamed to Islamnagar ("city of Islam") by Dost Mohammad Khan, the founder of the Bhopal princely state. Islamnagar was the original capital of the Dost Mohammad Khan's state.
In 1723, Dost Mohammad Khan had to surrender the Islamnagar fort to Nizam-ul-Mulk after a brief siege.[4] Khan was reduced to the position of a kiledar (fort commander) under the Nizam after a peace treaty. In year 1727 he shifted his capital to Bhopal. The Scindias controlled the Islamnagar fort from 1806 to 1817, when it was restored to Bhopal following a treaty.[5]
Several members of the royal family of Bhopal, including Shah Jahan Begum, were born in Islamnagar.
Chaman Mahal ("Garden Palace") is a red sandstone structure built by Dost Mohammad Khan. It is also known as Islamnagr fort. It is surrounded by gardens and fountains, and is ornamented with floral motifs. It has charbagh style garden. The architecture is a synthesis of the Malwa-Mughal architecture, with Bengali-influenced drooping eaves. The ruined palace has a Mughal water garden and a hamam (Turkish bath).[3]
Rani MahalEdit
A part of the Rani Mahal.
Rani Mahal ("Queen Palace") is a double-storey zenana complex (female residence). It has a colonnaded Diwan-e-Aam.[3] It was residence for queens of Dost Mohammad Khan.
