In the fort are the ancient sandstone Ashoka Pillar, the underground Patalpuri Temple, and a sacred banyan tree. The Allahabad Museum has Rajasthani miniature paintings. Inside the walled garden, Khusro Bagh is the 17th-century Mughal-style mausoleums of Emperor Jahangir’s family members. Anand Bhavan, the ancestral home of the Nehrus, is now a museum with memorabilia from the Nehru-Gandhi family. It’s next to Swaraj Bhavan, the birthplace of the former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and close to the domed Jawahar Planetarium. West of the city, Chitrakoot is a forested area associated with the Hindu "Ramayana" epic poem.
