Tash-Khauli Palace

Palace for Allah Kuli Khan and his lavish entourage - 163 rooms and three courtyards. This section is for the Harem, home to the Khan (first room on left) and his four legal wives as well as for the female relatives and Persian serving girls.
The sober rectangle is decorated with china blue tilework and is complemented by beautifully carved, slim, wooden pillars on carved marble bases
