lake called Mehjatiya Talaab made in 1510 A.D.by the Governor Behjat Khan. The original name of the lake was Behjad Khan Tallab, however over time the name has been changed.The palace construction gives the idea that the stones used were taken from other old palaces or monuments. Its selection of stones are not uniform and also the size and shape of the blocks are not the same. The palace is in a tranquil setting with the Vidhyanchal Hills on three sides. The palace grounds has a wide wall along the lakeside that afford a walkway for strolls. At present the Ram Nagar Palace houses a museum maintained by the state of Madhya Pradesh. The museum has a collection of Hindu temple fragments of gods and devi in the Chandela style and some fine examples of large well preserved sati stones. The collection was gathered from the villages which were submerged under the Raj Ghat Dam project near Chanderi.
Historically this is the lake where the Emperor Babar camped in preparation of his attack on Chanderi. In his memoir Babar writes that he departed from this pond on the night of 27th January, 1528 and the next day took Chanderi fort.
