Rani Mahal is located at the bank of Kali Gandaki river that is just 7km from the main Tansen city. The story behind the construction of this Mahal is similar to the Taj Mahal in India. Upon the death of his wife, Khadka Samsher Jang Bahadur Rana , the then governor of Palpa, got mad for two years. Later in the memory of his wife, he built this Mahal in 1882 which completed in 1892. The Mahal made off a big stone is a symbol of Nepali arts, architecture and stone carving.
