A TRAGIC TALE OF PHENOMENAL LOVE EP-1

Madhya Pradesh in India is a state not only by its geographical breadth but also by the diverse tourist landscape. One such place is the Queen Rupamati Palace. Situated on the Mando Hill on the northern side of the Narmada River, the palace is noted for its architecture. The tragic love story of the Queen Rupamati seems to be another dimension to the beauty of the palace.

                                    queen roopmati's palace    
                                                         
That was the sixteenth century. The capital of Madhya Pradesh was Malwa, ruled by Baz Bahadur, a sultanate. As an artist, he has a love for music. When the sultan went to the forest for hunting he heard the singing of a young woman. According to her name she was pretty.                             
        
                       He made love to her and asked her to marry him and called her to the palace.
      Rupamati is a girl who grew up among nature. She confessed her love for the Sultan. But she set a condition to come to the capital. That is, the sacred Narmada River should be visible her and the Sultan should be allowed to worship the river. He married to Rupamati, he built a palace on the hill of Mandu at her request. For the lovers, the palace was a fiery heaven.
                          That was Akbar's ruling time. It is only natural that the news of the country reach the ears of the emperor. The queen's extraordinary beauty and her charming throat reached the emperor. The emperor is to have all the special things of the world. Akbar felt it was best to have a magnificent gem like Ropamati. The Emperor wrote letter to Baz bahadur to send her wife to his palace.
                           The Sultan was angry at the Emperor who wanted his queen. 'Send your queens to my inner city,' he wrote.
                           Akbar read the answer of Baj Bahadur and was angry. The Sultan and his wife Rani rupamati disobeyed and Akbar ordered his commander to conquer them and bring them here safely.
