PALACES OF PATTA AND JAIMAL

South of the Gomkukh tank are the ruins of a row of great mansions, including those of the heroes who defended Chittorgarh, Patta and Jaimal. These two palaces were among the last of the monuments to be built in the fort before it was destroyed in 1567. Patta's palace echoes the style of the palace of Rana Kumbha and Kunwar Pade Ka Mahal with a stepped wall in the case of the former, and rich decorations in the case of the latter.If you look closely ,you can see the ornamented blue tiles that once adorned many of the buildings here.
