Roopmati Pavilion in Mandu was initially built as an army post in the 15th century. The last Sultan of Malwa, Baz Bahadur later extended it for his wife, Rani Roopmati, so she could worship the river Narmada without stepping out of the fort.When Baz Bahadur was killed in battle by Akbar's general, Roopmati poisoned herself. Today the pavilion has become a symbol of the tragic tale of the two lovers.
