  Built between 1486 and 1517 by Raja Mansingh. The tiles that once adoned its exterior have not survived, but at the entrance, traces of this still remain. Within the palace room's stand bars,stripped of their former glory, testifying to the passing of the centuries. Vast chambers with fine stone screensm were once the music halls, and behind these screens, the royal ladies would learn music from the great masters of the day. Below, circular dungeons housed the state prisoners of the mughals. Emperor Aurangzeb had his brother, Murad imprisoned, and later executed here. Close by is jauhar Pond, where in the Rajput tradition, the Ranis commited mass sati after their consorts had been defeated in battel. At Man Mandir Palace, a poignant ambience of those days of cavalry and heroism still lingers in the silent chambers. A superbly mounted Sonet-Lumiere here brings it all alive every evening.
