About the Book
Xplore Mandu – Resurrect Guide Book Series is a richly researched and visually immersive travel companion dedicated to the historic city of Mandu, once known as Shaadiabad — the “City of Joy.” Celebrated by Emperor Jahangir for its unmatched beauty during the monsoon, Mandu stands as a testament to architectural brilliance, cultural refinement, and romantic legend.
This guidebook offers the first-ever exhaustive coverage of 61 monuments, including all 14 historic gates of Mandu. With around 200 high-resolution site photographs and detailed sketches — including rare archival material — the book provides a comprehensive architectural and cultural exploration of this magnificent settlement. Major monuments are supported with architectural drawings, making it an invaluable reference for students, historians, travelers, and heritage enthusiasts.
The book highlights Mandu’s architectural milestones, such as the first white marble edifice in the Indian subcontinent and the celebrated Nimatnama commissioned during the reign of Ghiyath Shah — often regarded as the world’s first illustrated cookbook. Beyond Mandu, the volume also includes Budhi Mandu, Dhar, and the Bagh Caves, ensuring a complete regional perspective.
An updated and expanded map assists readers in planning their itinerary efficiently, while a practical section with contact details of local guides makes this book indispensable for on-ground exploration. As an added attraction, readers receive a beautiful complimentary set of 10 postcards featuring reconstruction drawings of Jami Masjid, Jal Mahal, and Ashrafi Mahal along with rare photographs (subject to stock availability).
Blending history, romance, architecture, and storytelling — including reflections by Gulzar on Mandu’s timeless love legends — this guidebook transforms a visit into an unforgettable cultural journey.
