The Man Mandir Place was built by Raja Mansingh, between 1486 and 1517. The Man Mandir Place is a charming frieze here of ducks paddling in turquoise waters. The Emperor Aurangzeb had his brother, Murad, imprisoned, and later executed, here. Close by is Jauhar Pond, where in the Rajput tradition, the "Ranis" (Queens) committed mass `Sati' after their consorts had been defeated in battle, the city is the Suraj Kund within the Fort walls, the original pond where Suraj Sen, or Suraj Pal as he was later known, was cured by the Saint Gwalipa. At the Man Mandir Palace, a poignant ambience of those days of chivalry and heroism still lingers in the silent chambers. A superbly mounted Son-et-Lumiere here brings it all alive every evening. The Man Mandir palace rooms stand bare, stripped of their place former glory, mute testimony to the passing of the centuries. Vast chambers with fine stone screens were once the music halls, and behind these screens, the royal ladies would learn music from the great masters of the day.
