Entry fees : 25/-
Rani Roopmati, was a Hindu singer, and later Queen of Malwa after her marriage to Sultan Baz Bahadur. The Sultan and Roopmati fell in love with each other and were married according to Muslim and Hindu rites.
Adham Khan was prompted to conquer Mandu partly due to Roopmati's beauty. When Adham Khan marched on the fort Baz Bahadur met him with his small force and was defeated, Roopmati poisoned herself. Thus ending the magical love story which was steeped in music, poetry, romance, war and death. This romance is considered a legend by some whilst others consider it to be true.
Baz Bahadur, ever so fond of music, was the last independent ruler of Mandu. Once out hunting, Baz Bahadur chanced upon a shepherdess frolicking and singing with her friends. Smitten by both her enchanting beauty and her melodius voice, he begged Roopmati to accompany him to his capital. Roopmati agreed to go to Mandu on the condition that she would live in a palace within sight of her beloved and venerated river, Narmada. Thus was built the Rewa Kund at Mandu.
The End of The Love Tale
The Defeat of Baz Bahadur of Malwa by the Mughal Troops, while Rani Roopmati, and her female companions, view the scene from the terrace of the fort. 1561- Akbarnama, ca 1590-1595 CE.
Unfortunately, the romance of this Muslim prince and Hindu shepherdess was doomed to failure. The great Mughal Akbar decided to invade Mandu and capture Roopmati and Baz Bahadur. Akbar sent Adham Khan to capture Mandu and Baz bahadur went to challenge him with his small army. No match for the great Mughal army, Mandu fell easily.
Baz Bahadur fled to Chittorgarh to seek help. As Adham Khan came to Mandu, was surprised by the beauty of Roopmati; and Rani Roopmati stoically poisoned herself to avoid capture. Thus ended this magical love story steeped in music, poetry and beauty.
The Rewa Kund is a reservoir built by Baz Bahadur at Mandu, equipped with an aqueduct to supply Roopmati's palace with water. Today, the site is revered as a holy spot. Baz Bahadur's Palace was constructed in the early 16th century, and is notable for its spacious courtyard fringed with halls, and high terraces which give a terrific view of the lovely surroundings. Rani Roopmati's Pavilion was built as an army observation post. It served a more romantic purpose as Roopmati's retreat. From this picturesque pavilion perched on a hilltop, the queen could gaze at her paramour's palace, and also at the Narmada flowing by, below. Rani Rupmati's double pavilion perched on the southern embattlements afforded a beautiful view of the Narmada valley.
In 1599, Ahmad-ul-Umri Turkoman, who was in the service of Sharaf-ud-Din Mirza wrote the story of Rani Roopmati in Persian. He collected 26 poems of her and included them in his work. The original manuscript passed to his grandson Fulad Khan and his friend Mir Jafar Ali made a copy of the manuscript in 1653. Mir Jafar Ali’s copy ultimately passed to Mehbub Ali of Delhi and after his death in 1831 passed to a lady of Delhi. Jemadar Inayat Ali of Bhopal brought this manuscript from her to Agra. This manuscript later reached C.E. Luard and translated into English by L.M. Crump under the title, The Lady of the Lotus: Rupmati, Queen of Mandu: A Strange Tale of Faithfulness in 1926. This manuscript has a collection of twelve dohas, ten kavitas and three sawaiyas of Rupmati.

FORTS OF INDIA: Episode- Mandu Fort: directed by G.S Chani and Gyandev Singh
The magnificent Mandu city-fortress stands on the crest of the Vindhyas, 1000 feet above the Nimar plains. Shadiabad -- City of Joy -- The Muslims called it, a place of many palaces mirrored in the lakes and pools of a lush green monsoon land.
Mandu's plateau covers about 20 square miles with deep chasms on three sides. The strong perimeter walls of rubble and masonry can only have been constructed with great difficulty, following the contours of ravines and passes. The last resort citadel of Bala Qila, at Sonagarh to the west, stands on a virtually isolated up thrust of land that no enemy could storm in strength.
Most of the monuments in Mandu were wilt by Dilawar Khan Ghori, Hoshang Shah and Muhmood Shah Khalji Hoshang Shah's reign saw the commencement of the great Jami Masjid, perhaps the finest and largest remaining work of Afghan creation in India. The Persian art of glazing had been carried to Mandu from Multan and flourished here throughout the 15th century: the turquoise blue and radiant yellow tiles of Mandu were unsurpassed, and just sufficient of them remain in the entrance pavilion to demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Malwa craftsmen. Jahaz Mahal is still intact while other monuments are in ruins. The heavy-set Hindola Mahal was built about 1525, also by Hoshang Shah, possibly as a durbar hall : its massive, battered walls with their inclining angle appear to sway slightly, hence the name Swinging Palace.
Baz Bahadur was the last Sultan of Malwa, most famous for his legendary love affair with the beautiful Hindu Rupmati, the lady of the lotus. The romantic Rewa Kund palaces, with their superb views across the Narbada valley far below, held all he asked of life.
