The Tarakash Mahal comprises of a huge pile
of ruins adjoining the masjid. The palace originally consisted of the
apartments of the female members of the royal household.
The ladies occupied the upper apartments while the lower portions housed
the guards and the storerooms. Traces of encaustic tile work are visible.
The building appears to have been renovated by the Barid Shahi kings who
had a large harem, comprising of women of different nationalities.
