At
a
distance
of
1.5
km
from
Kumbha
Palace
and
7.5
km
from
Chittorgarh
Railway
Station,
Padmini
Palace
is
situated
at
the
southern
part
of
Chittorgarh
Fort.
It
is
one
of
the
most
famous
hitorical places
to
visit
in
Rajasthan and
also
one
of
the
top
places
to
visit
in
Chittorgarh.
Padmini
Palace
was
once
the
palatial
abode
of
the
exquisitely
beautiful
Rajput
queen,
Rani
Padmini,
the
wife
of
King
Rawal
Ratan
Singh.
Revered
as
an
epitome
of
beauty,
Rani
Padmini
was
the
daughter
of
a
Sinhala
ruler
Gandharvasen
and
plays
a
crucial
role
in
the
history
of
the
gallant
Rajput
warriors.
This
queen
was
mentioned
in
the
epic
poem
of
'Padmavati',
which
had
been
composed
during
1540
CE,
by
Malik
Muhammad
Jayasi.
Rani
Padmini
Palace
leaves
behind
the
tincture
of
beauty,
valour,
sacrifice,
honour,
and
tragedy
of
the
past.
Padmini
Palace
was
the
very
legendary
palace
from
where
Ala-ud-din
Khilji
was
permitted
to
obtain
a
glimpse
of
Padmini
in
a
mirror
placed
in
the
main
hall.
Allured
by
her
beauty,
Ala-ud-din
Khilji
fought
a
fierce
battle
with
Rana
Ratan
Singh,
husband
of
Rani
Padmini.
Rani
Padmini
was
augmented
by
her
preference
of
death
to
abduction
and
dishonour
during
the
historic
siege
of
Chittor
in
1303
AD,
by
Ala-ud-din
Khilji.
As
an
aftermath,
Ala-ud-din
Khilji
killed
thirty
thousand
Hindus
in
revenge
and
entrusted
the
fort
to
his
son
Khizr
Khan.
It
is
a
3
storied
white
building
that
overlooks
a
pleasant
lotus
pool.
The
palace
is
adorned
by
the
pavilions
at
the
top
and
surrounded
water
moats.
The
architecture
of
this
palace
becomes
the
example
for
many
other
notable
structures
which
were
surrounded
by
the
water.
The
bronze
gates
to
this
palace
were
carried
off
by
Akbar
and
can
now
be
seen
in
Agra
Fort.
Near
Padmini's
Palace
is
a
small
prison
where
captured
invaders
were
kept;
former
prisoners
include
sultans
of
Malwa
and
of
Gujarat.
