Vijay Mandal Fort a.k.a Victory Tower
TUCKED AWAY AMID THE RESIDENTIAL buildings and everyday bustle of New Delhi lie the intriguing remains of a 14th-century fort and palace. Bijay Mandal is a remnant of Jahanpanah, one of the seven medieval cities forming Delhi—though seeing the neglected ruins as they stand now, you would be hard-pressed to believe this was once the seat of power of the Tughlaq dynasty.
The ruined Bijay Mandal fort complex consists of a large structure believed to be the site of the “Thousand-Pillared Palace” of the Tughlaq Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq, who founded the walled city of Jahanpanah to protect from Mongol invasions. The fort is topped with an octagonal pavilion that overlooks a smaller unknown structure with an impressive dome.
