Hindola Mahal (Palace) is "T" shape building, with a main hall and a transverse projection. Six arched openings are on both sides of the hall. Originally this hall had a massive vaulted roof. The sidewalls of this hall are strengthened with massive sloping buttresses, which have given the name "Hindola" (means swinging) palace to the building. Architecturally, the palace is assigned to the end of the fifteenth century A.D.
