Haveli Man Singh Rohtas Fort Jhelum
These are photographs of English/Urdu commemorative boards and Great Mughal Time beautiful building of Haveli Maan Singh located inside Rohtas Fort Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan. It is written on commemorative boards in English:
1- " Haveli Man Singh
Haveli Man Singh (i, e Man Singh's Fort), known after Akbar 's famous General of the same name occupies one of the two highest points within the Anderkot. When precisely was the Haveli built is nowhere recorded. But it could not have been built before Man Singh' s arrival on the scene in AD 1578-79 when his father Bhagwan Das was appointed Governor of the Punjab.
In 1585 when Mirza Muhammad Hakim, who held much of Afghanistan under his control, died. Man Singh was se t to Kabul to keep the country in order. He was transferred to Bihar in AD - 586-87 and never returned to Rohtas. Thus the Haveli must have been built early in his eight years stay in this region.
Within the much damaged compound wall of the Haveli stand two groups of buildings locally known as Sufaid Mahal (i, e White Palace) and Kala Mahal (i, e Black Palace) or Rani Mahal (i, e Queens Palace) when complete, the white Palace and so also the Black Palace, consisted of several halls, Paved with Missllinous mural paintings as shown by their traces at several places. What now remains of these Palaces are two double Storey structures built of stone blocks and burnt bricks fixed in lime mortar, merely a shadow of magnificent residence long devoid of life and spirt. At present, the main attraction of white Palace is the manner in which its exterior has architecturally been treated, particularly in the rich carving of partly vaulted and pendulous brackets supporting balconies.
What happened to these buildings is not known. However Archeological investigation have now begun to reveal that was gunpowder, not nature that brought about late scale destruction upon this site".
2- " Haveli Man Singh & Rani Mahal
Haveli Man Singh located in the Citadal area of Rohtas Fort. Haveli named after the trusted General of Mughal Emperor Akbar named Maan Singh. A two storey building constructed with bricks and plastered neatly. A part of the structure has collapsed. There seems originally to have been four rooms of which only one exists now.
The Rani Mahal (Queen's Palace) is near haveli maan Singh. It is aone storey structure. It is noa an original part of the Fort and isan example of Hindu architecture and built around the same as Haveli Maan Singh.
