Rani Roopmati Pavilion
रानी रूपमती महल
Twin pavilions on the cliff at the southern edge of the plateau overlook the Narmada Valley. It's the best place in Mandu to watch the sunset.
The building was originally a military lookout, but it became famous through the love story of Sultan Baz Bahadur and the singer Rani Roopmati. Legend says the queen would only eat after she had gazed from the pavilion at the distant Narmada River each day. The twin pavilions sit on a cliff about 365 meters above sea level with wide views. They are most crowded at sunset and are often shrouded in cloud during the monsoon. The site is at the southernmost tip of the plateau, about 4 kilometers from the village center. It can be combined with Baz Bahadur's Palace and the Rewa Kund, and it requires a separate ticket.
