Sher Mandal

The building where

Mughal Emperor Humayun

died

Early Life and Challenges

Mughal Emperor Humayun ascended to the throne at 22, inexperienced and soon dethroned by Sher Shah Suri, leading to a 15-year exile

Exile and Rivalry

During his exile, Humayun faced opposition from his half-brother and rival, Kamran Mirza

Return to Power

Humayun regained the Mughal throne in 1555 with the help of the Safavid dynasty, after Sher Shah's death

Tragic Demise

A year after regaining the throne, Humayun died in 1556 by accidentally falling down the stairs of Sher Mandal

Sher Mandal

A 16th-century historic building located within Purana Qila in Delhi, infamous as the site of Humayun’s fatal accident

Construction Controversy

Historians are divided over Sher Mandal's constructor, with some attributing it to Sher Shah Suri and others to Humayun himself

Architectural Features

The Sher Mandal is a two-story octagonal building made of red sandstone, featuring narrow, steep granite staircases

Humayun’s Library

Humayun used Sher Mandal as his library and suffered his fatal accident here while descending the stairs

Fatal Accident Details

Humayun’s fall was precipitated by his robe getting entangled while he stood up from praying on the stairs

Historical Significance

Despite its association with Humayun's tragic end, Sher Mandal remains significant for its architectural and historical value
