From Wikitravel
(Redirected from Mandav)
Mandu is a small city in the state of Madhya Pradesh in India, now best known for a fort built by Baaz Bahadur in the memory of his queen Rani Roopmati. Between 1401 and 1561 it was the capital of a Muslim state in the north of India. The capital was abandoned more than 400 years ago, and it's now a small city but also home to a large ruins site more than 10 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. The temple dedicated to Shiva also attracts many pilgrims.
