And for that, he had sent his artists to see this Tomb Hoshang Shah's tomb and the Jami Masjid are seen on the same ground Are we supposed to remove our footwear? No, this is a dummy tomb, and the original one is in Hoshangabad. Experiencing echo effects in the tomb Reciting a part of the Jain Religion prayer (Navkar Mantra) Ashrafi Mahal is constructed at a height and is opposite Jami Masjid The king of Mandu, Gyasudin Khilji, had 16000 queens Few of the queens' weight started increasing and he had to construct a palace with stairs What is this? It is Mandav's imli. Do you like your hair coloured? In the hair, yes, in the hair. Thank You. Known as Ship Palace, this is one of the famous buildings in Mandu This building looks like a huge ship anchored in the Kapur and Munjsagar lakes.

Green lawns and colourful flowers add to the beauty of the building It is believed that the emperor in the 15th century, Gyasydin Khilji, constructed this building for his 15000 queens Hindu architecture is visible in this building. Emperor Gyasudin's 15000 queens had created a town in this area Where training was given in singing, music, swimming and wrestling To the west of Jahaj Mahal is Munj Tal and it adds beauty to Jahaj Mahal Water was routed into the lake through these snake-shaped canals The water reservoir in the Jahaj Mahal one could feel the smell of Champak flowers And because of that, it was known as Champa Baodi Champa Baodi was not built to store water but to escape from the enemy attack Tried to speak but stopped.

In the morning, we enjoyed Liti prepared by Smitaji So today's day is dedicated to Smitaji, Jai Ho! after having the soup The history of Mandu is incomplete without the story of Rani Roopmati and Bj Bahadur It is situated at a height of 365 Meters and was constructed by Baj Bahadur for Rani Roopmati Fiends when visiting such places, please hire a local as it provides employment and income to them And their knowledge of these places is adequate So, let's listen to Rani Roopmati's storey from the guide Hello, what is your name? My name is Diwan Diwanji is the guide today, and he will give us the information on Rani Roopmati in the form of a storey This was their rainwater harvesting system Rainwater was collected and stored here for the army There was no surety that after digging, water would be found Rainwater was filtered and stored for army It is an ancient rainwater harvesting system A channel was built to drink water nd this is how water was collected and filtered here This was used as a stable to keep horses This was plastered in 2014 by the Government. This is where horses were fed, and here the horses were tied The building you have come to see is called the Roopmati pavilion Ropmati never lived here, which is why it is called the pavilion. The residence of Roopmati was 6 kilometres away from here where she lived This place is in Malwa and further is Nimar and this area is to look out for any intruder This building was built in 10 BC and was constructed by Raja (king) Bhoj And he had constructed this building for his army And from here Madhya Pradesh was divided into two parts-Malwa and Nimar. And we are standing at the height of 1200 feet and any intruder to this area is easily seen from this height This area is Malwa adjoining Nimar so anyone coming towards this area is easily visible from this height Raja (King) Bhoj constructed this as a watchtower so you won't find any rooms here Raja (King) Bhoj build Mandu in an area of 72 Kms and when entering Mandu you would have seen 3/4 gates It's like a ring road. It starts from those gates and ends there

It is told that in those days the population of Mandu was 9 Lacs while Delhi had 3 Lacs Whenever anyone came to live in Mandu, the king used to give a symbolic stone and a Gold coin The king adopted this scheme to increase the population of Mandu Roopmati was from a village called Dharampuri which is 27 km away from here and was the daughter of Thansinh Roopmati was a very talented singer The most beautiful queen was Padmavati of Chittorgarh, followed by Roopmati and then Bajirao Mastani All these three queens were the most beautiful When in 1526 Akbar establishes his rule and he sends Baj Bahadur to look after Malwa Baj Bahadur was not a king but Akbar's Army general and his real name was Basit Ali Khan He was honoured the name Baj because his reactions in attacking were like an eagle So that is the reason he was called Baj, Yes Madam Baj Bahadur always loved music and hunting During hunting, he once goes to Dharampuri village where he comes to know that there is a very good singer and musician called Roopmati Roopmati's singing talent was such that when she sang Meghmalad it starts raining Meghmalad means rain That's when Baj Bahadur tells her to come to Sajiabad Roopmati puts forward a few conditions before accepting his offer. I am ready to come as a singer but every day in the morning I must see the waters of River Narmada and until I do not see the water of River Narmada, I do not eat anything Roopmati was kept in the king's palace Baj Bahadur constructs two towers for Roopmati, and later it was called the Roopmati pavilion and here there is no place for Roopmati to live but she used to come here to see the water of the Narmada River and the Narmada water was only visible in the morning around 6 and 7 am because at the time of sunrise, it created a reflection on the Narmada river, and Roopmati could see its water Was it possible to see it, yes madam And during murky conditions, it was not possible for Roopmati to see the Narmada River and during that time, Roopmati had to go hungry Narmada Maa came into her dream and said go down and dig a hole and you will see water that will be my water Yes that is true that wherever I will dig water will come but how can I trust that it is Narmada River water So Narmada Maa assures her that wherever you will dig in that water you will see shells, fish and Prawns Shells are those that are used by Hindu saints and when those things are found there, the lake is named Reva Kund Narmada's other name is Reva Narmada start from Amarkanth and ends Bharuch of Gujarat Saints who make the pilgrimage of Narmada river have to come here If Roopmati was unable to see the Narmada River from here then she would offer her prayers at Reva pond followed by singing and then return to Jahaj Mahal From where you purchased the tickets that where Reva Kund is After sometime Baj Bahadur becomes the king of this area and he revolts with King Akbar You may have heard that Akbar had Adam Khan who was the son of Maha Mangat A war erupted between Baj Bahadur and Azam Khan and Baj Bahadur had to run away from the battlefield And Adam Khan wins Mandu and he forcefully wanted to marry Roopmati And Roopmati kills herself with poison The relationship of Baj Bahadur and Roopmati was because of music and they were not married Roopmati was brought here for music and this was not a palace but a pavilion only So, where did Baj Bahadur go and then he never meet Roopmati Baj Bahadur goes to King Akbar, who pardons him and, after sometime Baj Bahadur cuts his throat and dies and his grave is at black river Where? Near Sajapur, where the black river is and it is 250 km away from here that where his grave is as he belonged to that area Baj Bahadur's father's name was Sujawat Khan and that's where there are two graves made from black and red stones Let's walk this side These holes were made for the light to come in The light facility was for the army to walk through this tunnel The states were distributed, and Indore was given to Holkar, Nagpur to Bhosle, Gwalior to Scindia and Gujarat to Gaekwad whatever rulers came, they maintained this building This is the water tank for rainwater harvesting and this area is for the movement of horses and we exit from here Friends, this was our Mandu tour.
