Raja Man Singh Tomar built Gujari Mahal in the 15th century as a token of his love for his ninth queen, Mrignayani, a Gujjar princess. Legend says she agreed to marry him only if he built her a separate palace with its own water supply from the Rai River, as she refused to drink water from the fort due to her community traditions. The palace served as her residence and was designed to incorporate her preferences. Over the centuries, Gujari Mahal witnessed various historical events and rulers. Eventually, it fell into disrepair, but in the early 20th century, it was converted into an archaeological museum. This transformation helped preserve the palace and its historical significance, allowing visitors to appreciate the legacy of Raja Man Singh Tomar and his queen.
