00:00There is a wonderful palace in Rewa, which we know as Bankat Bhavan.

00:05Actually, this palace was built when there was famine in Rewa in 1896-95-96.

00:14So, the population of this place started to move out.

00:18The working class and the poor started to move out.

00:23So, when Maharaja Bankat Raman Singh went to see Sajul Masajid on the invitation of Begum Bhopal,

00:30construction work was going on there.

00:33So, when Maharaja Bankat Raman Singh went to see Sajul Masajid in Bhopal,

00:38everyone started to greet him.

00:40The sculptors stood up.

00:42They asked, how did you come here?

00:44He said that there is famine in Rewa and there is no work.

00:48Maharaja Bankat Raman Singh said that you people go to Rewa and we will give you work.

00:53As soon as he reached Rewa, he called an engineer by the name of Harrison, who was studying in Cooper Hills, England.

01:02He asked him to make a map whose work would go on for a long time.

01:09So, he made a map on the basis of sky, earth, earth, and clouds.

01:17An engineer by the name of Harrison made the map and gave it to him.

01:21So, all the sculptors started working here.

01:26So, when the sculptors got work and the work started to go on very fast,

01:34there were about 250-300 sculptors, 400-500 labourers, and the work started.

01:45So, those sculptors composed a song.

01:49They said,

01:51The work has started in Bankat Bhawan. The work is going on very fast.

01:54The darkness of my hands has gone.

01:56And the colour of my hair has gone.

01:58And I have asked for a lot of food.

02:02So, they gave food and money.

02:07The main sculptor who was selected was Muhammad Abishai.

02:12Apart from him, there were Deen Muhammad, Alaf Khan, Suriddin, and Jairam Khar.

02:24All the sculptors were from Bishya, Karahi, Govindgarh, and Thulia.

02:34So, when these sculptors made the Bhawan,

02:39the main structure of it is standing on a round tank.

02:47And there is a 9.5-feet-tall house in that structure.

02:55And there is a 15-feet-tall bridge inside the house.

03:02And after going to the bridge, you will find a platform.

03:06And you will find 12 doors around it.

03:11So, when this work started, people were coming to see it.

03:17And the king of the states, Maharaj, also came to see it.

03:21So, Maharaja Bankat Raman Singh Jodhi had it covered.

03:24He said that no one will see it until it is ready.

03:29So, it is built in an area of 4,742 square feet.

03:36And there is a tunnel connected to it.

03:42These tunnels look very mysterious.

03:45One tunnel goes to Banki, which is completely safe.

03:51And the other one goes to Amra Koti.

03:54When the Bhawan was built, the material used for it was

03:59brought from the Ghatwa mines and Khutaihi mines.

04:08And the spices used by the sculptors in it,

04:12such as jaggery, bel, urad dal, sand, katha, surkhi, and chuna,

04:18were roasted in a tank for 21 days.

04:22And after roasting, it was rotated around 365 times by bullock carts.

04:28Then that spice was used in it.

04:30Some stones have been brought in it from Govindgarh.

04:33And its carvings, the carvings of the mine, are very beautiful.

04:39And what has been plastered in it,

04:42it has been plastered with the powder of Sheep, Suti, and Sangmarman.

04:53And in which jaggery, urad dal, etc. have been used,

04:58which we have told you.

05:00And it was rubbed with coconut husk.

05:03And then it was rubbed with the lint of Dhaka.

05:07So you will see that even today you will see your face in it.

05:13So the lower part of it makes you feel like Bhulok.

05:19The upper part of it makes you feel like land.

05:28And its roof reminds you of the sky.

05:35And you will see the stars coming in it.

05:40And it was in very good condition until about 30 years ago.

05:45And the ironwork that has been done in it,

05:50the ironwork that has been done, the ironwork that has been done,

05:53it came from England.

05:55And they were getting 5 paise from the women workers.

05:59And Maharaja Venkatraman Singh Jodhav

06:01had opened up the entire palace so that our people could not have any problem.

06:08And they could eat and work.

06:10They were also being given money and food.

06:13So this palace is one of the beautiful palaces of Madhya Pradesh.

06:18Its secret tunnels.

06:20The tunnels that were made were made with the view of security.

06:27You will see the tunnels made by Venkatraman Singh Jodhav.

06:31There is a very big circular hall in it.

06:36In which about 4 feet or 3.5 feet of water can be kept.

06:40So that is the meeting hall.

06:43In difficult days or when there is a need to have a meeting in a crisis,

06:51that meeting hall used to work.

06:54And it also served as a public bath.

06:59And to get the water out, a national lift system was made in it.

07:05Which was rotated by bulls and water was thrown down.

07:11And a system was made there to fill new water.

07:15This palace is our wonderful palace.

07:18It reminds us of our king Venkatraman Singh Jodhav's loyalty to the people.

07:28And our palace also reminds us that when there was a crisis in the people of Rewa Raj,

07:37how Maharaja Rewa opened his palace and got the palace built.

07:43The construction of this palace started in 1897-97.
