However, most scholars say it was built during 1469-1500 by Ghiyas al-Din.
Jahaz Mahal

Other historical evidences such as Ghiyas al-Din's living style and unique ways of amusement also point out to the fact that this building was built by him. The name of this palace has been appropriately given as it is situated between Kapur Talao and Munj Talao, two beautiful lakes. It is a two-storied building having a rectangular structure. Beauty of this structure is that it is exposed to cool south west breeze during summer.
