The Rani Mahal is a royal palace in the city of Jhansi, Uttar
Pradesh, India. The palace was built by Raghu Nath-II of the
Newalkar family (1769-96). This palace later formed one of the
residences for Rani Lakshmibai.
Architecturally, it is a flat-roofed, two-storey building having a
quadrangular courtyard with a small well and one fountain on
opposing sides. The palace consists of six halls and parallel
corridors with multi-foiled arches and a number of small rooms.
The Darbar Hall, approached by a flight of steps, is beautifully
decorated with paintings in bright colours exhibiting various
floral, faunal and geometrical motifs.
