The Faiz Mahal (Sindhi : فيض محلات; Urdu : فَیض محل) is a palace in Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan. [1]
It was built by Mir Sohrab Khan in 1798 [2] as the principal building serving as the sovereign's court for the royal palace complex of Talpur monarchs of the Khairpur dynasty. Originally it included the ruler's chambers along with 16 waiting rooms for courtiers and guest rooms for royal guests alongside the durbar and dining halls. Additionally there was the Hathi Khana for the royal elephant and the horses stables where there is a mango orchard today. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At present, Faiz Mahal serves as the home of the last Talpur monarch, H. H. Mir Ali Murad Khan Talpur II (born 1933), and his sons, Prince Abbas Raza Talpur and Prince Mehdi Raza Talpur.
