Sunheri Mahal is an ancient historic monument, now transformed into a museum. Its collection includes age-old Indian pottery, ruins of regional palaces, antiques, coins, paintings and old dresses of regular use found in the excavation of Bhokardan, a close by historic site. The museum also displays some major reliefs and sculptures found in the local excavations. This museum is placed in the campus of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University.
The Sunheri Mahal is a great historical attraction in Aurangabad. It was built by a tribal chief who came with Emperor Aurangzeb to South India. Sunheri Mahal is situated in the Paharsingpura area, which is a suburban part of Aurangabad. It is made of good quality stone and lime. One unique feature of the palace is that it has a high pedestal which is now sadly in ruins. Sunheri Mahal is named after the paintings in the Palace that were once painted in gold. The monument was constructed by a Bandalkand chief who accompanied Aurangzeb into the Dakhan.
