Palace of the beautiful Queen Padmini in Chittorgarh. The fort perched on a 180 mts. high hill, covering 700 acres, was constructed by Maurya rulers in the 7th century. In the fort, this Palace was built for Queen Padmini where beauty was responsible for the battle between Allauddin Khilji and Rana Ratan Singh. Rani Padmini was a celebrated beauty and according to a legend, it was here that Rana Ratan Singh showed a glimpse of her to Allauddin Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi. It overlooks a pool in which the 'Zanana Mahal' is situated, where Padmini stood when her reflection was shown to Allauddin Khilji in a mirror placed in the main hall.
