This building popularly attributed to Raja Birbal was an integral part of the Haramsara. Most probably Akbar’s two Senior Queens viz. Ruqaiyya Begam (1542-1628) and Salima Sultan Begam (1542-1612) lived in this house. It is now open on all sides but was originally provided with stones screens. Standing on a large concrete platform, it is a doubled storeyed structure raised on pillars and arches of plain masonry and has four rooms on the ground floor and two entrance porches with two domed chambers on the upper floor. The walls and ceilings of the lower rooms are exquisitely carved. The variety of the ornamental carvings are displayed both outside and inside. The house testifies to the masterly skills of the Sikri Artisans in Plastic art and in Arabesque decoration. The House is situated near to the entrance of the Imperial Complex. In my opinion, this is the best place to visit here due to its beautiful carvings etc.
