Rani Roopmati Pavilions are called as Rani Roopmati ka Chaubara. This enchanting building on the highest peak of the Mandu Fort was Roopmati's favourite retreat, from here she could see the silver flow of the river Narmada zigzagging across the plains below. It is said that Roopmati had a great belief towards Narmada. She was never taking food or water until she had a glance of the holy river. This choubara (open space) is located on the terrace in the upper storey of the palace and the Roopmati used to have ‘darshan’ of the holy River Narmada from here every day.
