[4][5] According to folklore, Adham Khan was prompted to conquer Mandu partly due to Roopmati's beauty.
[6] When Adham Khan marched on the sultan's fort, Baz Bahadur and a small force met him and were defeated.
Roopmati agreed to go to Mandu on the condition that she would live in a palace within sight of her beloved and venerated river, Narmada.
[11] The Rewa Kund is a reservoir built by Baz Bahadur at Mandu, equipped with an aqueduct to supply Roopmati's palace with water.
Baz Bahadur's Palace was constructed in the early 16th century, and is notable for its spacious courtyard fringed with halls, and high terraces which give a terrific view of the lovely surroundings.
Rani Roopmati's double pavilion perched on the southern embattlements afforded a view of the Narmada valley.
