 Your trip to the state of Madhya Pradesh should necessarily include a Tour to Mandu to bring your itinerary to a complete circle. While you are in Mandu, you will definitely not miss out on the Monuments in Mandu, which are the prime attractions of the place. Amongst the many monuments and palaces that adorn the historical city, Roopmati’s Pavilion is one of the most visited tourist spots.
Rani Roopmati’s Pavilion bears witness to the love story between Queen Roopmati and Baz Bahadur. It was on one of his hunting excursions that Baz Bahadur got attracted to the mellifluous tunes of Roopmati, then a simple Hindu peasant girl. Love blossomed among them and she was brought to Mandu by the sultan on the condition that she would stay in such a place as to be able to view her paramour’s palace as well as the flowing Narmada. Thus began the love story between the two, though it ended tragically due to the intrusion of Akbar who was attracted by the beauty of Roopmati. However, the queen died a self inflicted slow poisoned death, unable to bear such mental trauma.
Originally built as an army observation post, the structure later on took the shape of symbol of undying love between Baz Bahadur and Rani Roopmati. Lying to the south of Baz Bahadur’s Palace, Roopmati’s Pavilion was then a low and large hall with two rooms on each side and a thick sloping base. Later, the building was extended on the western side along the plinth and the most interesting additions were the square pavilions housing hemispherical domes. It was from here that the queen would view the palace of her beloved, Baz Bahadur. Also the sensational sight of river Narmada flowing 305 meters below is sure to entrance you.
Roopmati’s Pavilion is a must visit spot while you are touring the city of Mandu.
