Historical Palace Ruins
The palace is named after Ratan Singh and has great historical importance. It is located within Chittorgarh Fort and comes at the end of Fort tour. This was the winter palace of the former Merwar Royal Family. The palace complex is spread out, however presently the structures are lying in ruin condition. Still what remains, highlights the architectural beauty of the palace in its glory days. The palace provides a good back drop for photo ops. As compared to other places within the Fort, this palace is less visited by the tourist. probably because it comes at the end of the tour. However, to witness the historical achievements, a visit to the Ratan Singh Palace is recommended.

Little visited palace, but worth the extra effort
The Rana Ratan Palace was the winter palace of the former Merwar Royal Family that was built on the orders of Ratan Singh II who reigned from 1527 to 1531. The palace is is mostly ruins, but still retains the rectangular plan, the enclosing high walls and the skeletal remains of the interior rooms. The palace is set far to the north of the Chittorgarh palace complex, but in a beautiful setting right next to an artificial lake. In comparison to the many other structures inside the fort complex, this palace is little visited. I had insisted that my auto driver take me here in addition to the standard itinerary all drivers in the city use and it was well worth it.

A pity this place does not offer more
For all the noise about Padmavat and the history behind this, its a pity that the palace of the then king does not offer more. Its current state is broken walls, with no boards of historical details, and no story. It would be good if this place was evolved with a story to tell.

A Piece of the Past
There wasn't all that much to see, but the place is pretty much a scattered landscape of the bygone days. If you love the sense of history and simply exploring, this is definitely worth it.
