The book is meant as a work on a historical place in Madhya Pradesh having tourist interest as well. Since the historical aspect has been presented with great accuracy this book will be useful for students of history also. The main aim is to acquaint and guide the visitors of the rich history and architecture of Mandu which is indeed the supreme glory of Malwa with a long history and matchless architectural splendour. Its monuments can be favourably compared to monuments of Delhi and the Taj-Mahal of Agra. Lord Curzon found them more impressive than any other monument in India. The place and the monuments have been described in detail by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in his auto-biography. Emperor Akbar also found them very impressive. Every British Viceroy and British residents during the British period invariably visited Mandu—the city of joy. The illustrations provided in the book give a more eloquent description of the place than any words can describe.
