About Rani Mahal
The Newalkar palace in the old town, built by Raghunath II in the late 18th century and the Rani's home after Gangadhar Rao died in 1853. British shelling in 1858 damaged it badly. The ASI keeps it now as a small sculpture gallery, with Chandela and Pratihara pieces from across Bundelkhand set out in the courtyard and a painted durbar hall upstairs.
What to see and do
- Painted durbar hall on the first floor
- Chandela and Pratihara sculpture in the courtyard
