The term ‘mahal’ in Ashrafi Mahal is a misnomer, as it was not a palace but a madarsa built by Muhammad Shah that serves as his tomb. After a series of battles with Rana Kumbha of Mewar, which ended in a stalemate, Mohammad Shah built a seven storeyed victory tower in Asrafi Mahal to commemorate his victory.
