History and Architecture of Rewa Kund
Rewa Kund is a fascinating story of Baz Bahadur’s enduring love for Roopmati. As a tribute to love, Baza built this beautiful water body to ensure a constant water supply to the Roopmatii Pavilion, often from the Narmada River. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction in the Mandu region of Madhya Pradesh.
The lake is man-made and spans approximately 230 feet in the north-south direction and 170 feet in the east-west direction. Over time, the pavilion on the northwest side of the lake has been extended and boasts varying styles of pillars and arches. For anyone who came to witness the beauty of the lake, these pavilions offer a perfect resting place.
There is a unique feature on the northern end of the lake. A contraption is designed to supply water to Baz Bahadur Palace, which is a testament to his ingenuity and vision.
Nowadays, bathing inside the lake is prohibited, and the water is crystal clear and pristine.
So anyone who wants to experience the rich history and stunning beauty of the natural lake should include Rewa Kund in their travel experience.
