Rani Roopmati Pavillion

Rani Roopmati's Pavallion was built as an army observation post. It served a more romantic purpose as Roopmati's retreat. This pavillion is situated on a hilltop from where the queen could gaze at her paramour Baz Bahadur's palace, and also at the Narmada flowing by, below.She would not break her fast each day till she worshipped the river Narmada, such was her faith in the holy river that she was abandoned by her husband Raja Maan, who could not fulfil her wish of bringing Narmada river to his palace.The Rani used to cover a long distance daily to this Pavillion to be able to see Narmada and begin her daily chores.
