This is a must visit place and is the last point of Mandu. I visited this on Monday, 22nd October 2018 and was the first place in my Mandus' itenerary. I would recommend a guide (we hired guide named Diwan) to allow yourself to familiarize with the history as well as get a quick tour of the entire structure. This place was originally built by Raja Bhoj as a watch tower for a garisson of 40-50 soldiers as this was a border of his kingdom. It was later that two domed structure was built on top for Rani Roopmati allowing her to take darshan if Narmada river. Mandu is a huge fort city originally built by Raja Bhoj and was called as Mandapgarh Durg. Later during reign of Sultans the name was changed to Shadiyabaad and finally its back to Mandu derived from original Mandapgarh. Post this we visited Baz Bahadur palace located next to Rewa Kund, Neeelkanth Palace/ Mandir and finally the magnanimous Jahaz Mahal.

The Hindola Mahal derives its name from the inclined ramparts that are supposed to create the impression they are swinging. It is not clear whether this palace was constructed during the reign of Hushang Shah (circa 1425 C.E.) or during the reign of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Khilji towards the end of the 15th century. It's clear, though, this palace was majorly used by Mughals for leisure.
