Exterior view of a terrace on one of two turrets of the Jahangiri Mahal, which served as the zenana, at Agra Fort. The terrace features a curved row of columns that follows the shape of the exterior wall, and the columns, walls, doors, windows and railings are all decorated with ornate mosaics and carved, perforated latticework patterns. A figure stands at the edge of the terrace beneath the stone eave or chajja.
