Roopmati

Rani Roopmati (kavi roopmati) was a Poet queen of Mandu and the consort of the Sultan of Malwa, Baz Bahadur.^[1]^[2]^[3] Roopmati features prominently in the folklores of Malwa, which often describe the romance of the Sultan and his consort.^[4]^[5]

According to folklore, Adham Khan was prompted to conquer Mandu partly due to Roopmati's beauty.^[6] When Adham Khan marched on the sultan's fort, Baz Bahadur and a small force met him and were defeated. Bahadur fled, after which Roopmati, believing he was dead, and unwilling to submit to Adham Khan, poisoned herself.^[7]^[8]^[9]
