It is a historical town mentioned by Jahangir as a jagir of Rup Singh which was subsequently given to Amanullah. Rup Singh is said to be originally a descendent of the Maharana of Chittaur. He built a palace and a beautiful tank, though the former is now in dilapidated condition. Because this palace is built of red sandstone, it is popularly known as Lal Mahal and is datable to seventeenth century A.D.
