This is a part of 370 years old Baradari's roof which was so beautifully designed using mirror pieces and different color of glass in form of stars and flowers but now they can be found in their original form only at few of the old Mughal Regime Site's. A baradari, in Persian and Moghul architecture, is a building or room with 12 doors which is designed to allow the free draught of air through it. Persons of repute used it as a venue for formal and informal settings in hot weather.
