Located in Agra Fort, it is so called because of the mirrors embedded in the ceiling and walls. This was the royal bath. You can see it from the outside and maybe peep through the opening in the door if you are lucky as the place is out of bounds and has been closed for a long time now. If you can get close, and it is possible as this is India and who you know or how much you can pay someone, will open door. No one knows why it is closed.

Per my Tour Guide, the small palaces built inside the Red Fort was consturcted to honor members of the Royal Family such as daughters, etc. This is one of these palaces.
I admired the i tricate paintings on the walls and celings. Took some pictures and visited the other related palaces.

There are Sheesh Mahal, or palaces of mirrors, in Amer, Lahore and Orchha. The one in Agra Fort is less impressive than others, but still worth a visit - if only for the beautiful pietra dura flowers in the white marble. And, anyway, you've paid your ticket into Agra Fort, so may as well.

It is one of the most beautiful palaces to visit in Agra. However, due to people pulling out the glassed from walls, access to this palace has been restricted of late. Despite incidences of vandalism, the palace remains beautiful as ever!

Sheesh Mahal is beautifully ornamental and is testament of the enormous talents of the Indian craftsmen, who built it.

Beautifully crafted. The walls and ceilings are stuffed with mirrors and the total attire is splendid. The Taj Mahal can be seen from the windows.

Brillinat Architecture. Thousands of small mirrors in a big room. Will remember you of Saleem & Anarkali. Although it is closed for general public you can watch it from outside. Must watch!!!

As of December 2019 you can only look inside through the door. When I visited the site was mostly unlit, so you do not really get the effect of the mirror decorations.

This is inside Agra Fort, in what were the living quarters of Shah Jahan, who also built the Taj Mahal for his favourite wife.
The walls and ceilings are decorated in tiny mirrored tiles. We were advised by our guide to switch on the torches on our mobile phones, and this made it glitter beautifully, perfect for lovely photos. I share this tip for anyone else who wants to take arty pictures.
