The second palace was Raj Mandir, built upon anisland within the River Betwa by Madhukar Shah(1554-92) throughout the period of his reign and possibly into that of his son Ram Shah(1592-1605). The third palace is JahangirMahal,constructed in honour of the Mughal emperor by Bir Singh Deo from 1605, on the siteof an earlier structure built around 1586.
