The ruins of a 12th Century Palace built by King Prithviraj Chauhan (1170-1192 A.D.), the Rajput ruler of Delhi and Ajmer, are located on the banks of the Menali river. This Palace was used by him as a mountain retreat during the scorching Summers of Rajasthan. It has a two-storeyed main gateway, carved with the images of Lord Ganesha and Lord Bhairava. There is a square courtyard beyond the entrance which houses a huge Shiva Temple made of stone, built in the ancient Hindu style of architecture with a carved pagoda and pillars.
