There are no major palaces in the Rohtas Fort except for the structure built by Raja Maan Singh called the Haveli of Maan Singh (Maan Singh Palace). Man Sing (Man Singh I) (December 21, 1550 – July 6, 1614) was the Kacchwaha King of Amber, a state later known as Jaipur. He was a trusted general of the Mughal emperor Akbar, who included him among the Navaratnas, or the 9( nava) gems(Ratna) of the royal court. Maan Singh Haveli was built on the highest point of the fortress. It’s not the original part of the fortress. On the whole, this fort is built in Afghan-Persian style but the balconies have Hindu architecture and the same balconies can be seen in Haveli Maan Singh. So far it’s unknown that what exactly the cause of the destruction of Haveli Maan Singh.
Though it’s not the result of natural calamities, however, archeological investigations have begun now to reveal the facts.
