Rani Roopmati Pavilion and Baz Bahadur Palace




According to legend, the music loving Baz Bahadur built this pavilion to lure beautiful singer Rani Roopmati to move here. His palace further down the hill side was where he would play music to serenade her. The love story has a tragic ending-- because Mogul emperor Akbar, lured by her beauty marched on the fort. Baz Bahadur fled and Rani Roopmati committed suicide by poison.
