Chhatra Mahal

Destination

Chhatra Mahal: Among all the palaces around the Taragarh Fort, the Chatar Mahal is possibly the best. It was built in the year 1660 by Chatar Sal, and bears a strong proof of the state of independence that the Rajput rulers enjoyed from Mughal power.

Chatar Sal was perhaps the only Rajput who was made The Governor of Delhi since he proved his loyalty to the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. However, his affection and loyalty for Mughal coalition did not get in his way while he planned the magnificent Chatar Mahal using stones from the quarries in Bundi. The Mughals traditionally constructed all the monuments using red sandstone.
