Kaliadeh Palace
कालियादेह महल
A 15th-century water palace of the Mandu sultans on an island in the Shipra River, with stone channels and pools fed by river water.
Kaliadeh Palace sits on an island in the Shipra River about 8 km north of Ujjain. Built in the 15th century by the Malwa sultan of Mandu, it has Persian-style domes, and river water was channeled into the palace to form tiered canals and pools. In ancient times the site was home to a Sun temple, later restored by the Scindia family. Today it is a rather quiet ruin with wide river views. Entry is free, though some areas are closed. You'll need to take a taxi to get there.
