Zeenat Mahal is located at west of Hauz-Qazi in Lal Kuan Bazaar in badarpur area of Old Delhi.

Earlier this palace was fully equipped with all luxuries and comforts also it was decorated with murals and other luxurious items. Zeenat mahal almost covers four acres of land in mansion.

Zeenat mahal was built on a very large scale with the money that was mainly provided by the rich merchants of Chandni Chowk. Attended by the rows of servants in the palace, she would receive a grand welcome in emperor's chamber. Beating of drums and playing of other musical instruments would mark the arrival of her palanquin lined with numbers of bodyguards. However, today it would be very difficult to imagine the brilliance and grandeur of the building seeing its present distorted condition. Zeenat mahal might have lost its significance in present time but it will be always part of of prestigious monuments which are evidence of Indian glorious history which still attracts a big number of tourist.
