Today it is occupied by has mundane shops. and is occupied by a grinder factory for spices, a girls' school,a milk shop, a nursery for children and some houses. It used to be a massive mansion spread over almost four acres.

Though in a serious state of neglect, the palace is survived by an imposing gateway, few arched pavilions and the outer wall. Since, emperor was very fond of Zinat Mahal; she enjoyed all luxuries and comforts in this palace. The palace was beautifully decorated with murals and other expensive items to please the queen.

Built on a very large scale, the money was mainly provided by the rich merchants of Chandni Chowk. Attended by the rows of servants in the palace, she would receive a grand welcome in emperor's chamber. Beating of drums and playing of other musical instruments would mark the arrival of her palanquin lined with number of bodyguards. However, today it would be difficult to imagine the brilliance and grandeur of this building seeing its present condition.
