Jal Mahal influence
The architecture of Padmini’s Palace bears traces of the Jal Mahal in Jaipur. The white outer walls, the lotus pool, and the serene setting evoke a sense of timeless elegance.
The reflection that shaped history
Legend weaves a tale of intrigue around this palace. As Rani Padmini sat in the lake pavilion, Alauddin Khilji, smitten by her beauty, glimpsed her reflection in the water. This fateful vision led to the infamous siege of Chittor. The bronze gates, once part of this pavilion, now reside in the Agra Fort.
A queen’s valour
Rani Padmini’s exceptional beauty and courage echo through history. When faced with the threat of dishonour by Alauddin Khilji, she chose death over surrender. Her sacrifice became a defining moment in the annals of Chittorgarh.
