Rani Mahal (Palace), symbol of love, built by then governor of Palpa, Khadga Shamsher Rana during B.S. 1949. Located in Palpa District, Rani Mahal is also called the Tajmahal of Nepal. Its foundation starts from the bank of Barandi and Kaligandaki River. Its architectural design is unique and reminds us the British style of architect that time. Khadga Shamsher built Rani Mahal for the memory of his wife Tejkumari. According to the legend, the Queen had a premonition of her death and asked Rana to build a memorial so that her memory would stay alive in people's mind. When she died, he is said to have built the two-storeyed (64 room) memorial mansion exactly where she expressed the wish, surrounded by shrines and a layered garden.
