Superb pictures which bring the history of the place alive before our eyes.

Panch Mahal.

I want to add my 2 cents also.

This is entirely columnar structure. With storeys of decreasing size. Disposed asymmetrically upon Ground Floor that contains 84 columns. 84 is a highly auspicious in Hindu mythology. After this The first storey contains 56 columns, second storey has 20, third contains 12, and fourth one has a single column kiosk type supported on 4 pillars.

So total 176 columns.
And 5 levels if we count ground floor.

On the first floor, which has 56 columns - NO COLUMN IS SIMILAR.. ALL COLUMNS ARE DIFFERENT. UNIQUE!!!!!!!!! Some are circular with tiny blossoms carved on them, some are octagonal with fluer-de-lis patterns, some have weaves around their centres, and ONE is very beautiful - This contains a beautiful version of bell and chain motif inspired by Hindu Art.

The storeys are replicent of the 5 element of Human Body .
