Rana Ratan Singh Palace

The Rana Ratan Palace was the winter palace of the former Merwar Royal Family that was built on the orders of Ratan Singh II who reigned from 1527 to 1531. The palace is is mostly ruins, but still retains the rectangular plan, the enclosing high walls and the skeletal remains of the interior rooms. The palace is set far to the north of the Chittorgarh palace complex, but in a beautiful setting right next to an artificial lake.

In comparison to the many other structures inside the fort complex, this palace is little visited. I had insisted that my auto driver take me here in addition to the standard itinerary all drivers in the city use and it was well worth it.

Rana Ratan Palace is an absolute gem of a place on the chittorgarh fort tour. It's at the very end and I'd say saving the best for the last. Yes, it is in ruins but it's still very intact, we found this hidden room inside with a really really deep well, went up some stairs and found a room. A lot of discover. There's a small lake outside, the view of the palace there is also beautiful. Do not miss out on this one!

Though this place is remains of the palace but I liked this place very much. The enclosing high walls and the skeletal remains of the interior rooms. The palace is set far to the north of the Chittorgarh palace complex, but in a beautiful setting right next to an artificial lake.
The sad part is that this place is not well maintained and we should restore our history by simply maintaining such places.

Though this place is remains of the palace but I liked this place very much. If ruins/remains of this palace look amazingly beautiful then imagine how beautiful this palace looks ages ago.

Every part of this palace is so beautiful that I couldn’t resist me clicking so many pictures.
