In news– Recently, the Indian Prime Minister inaugurated the revamped Rani Kamalapati station.

About the Rani Kamalapati railway station–

  • It is India’s ‘most-modern’ railway station located in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
  • It is part of the West Central Railway.
  • Previously known as Habibganj, the railway station has been renamed after Gond queen Rani Kamalapati.
  • The station has been redeveloped at a cost of around Rs 450 crore in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
  • Designed as a green building, this railway station has all the modern world-class amenities that also take into account ease of mobility for the physically challenged.

About Rani Kamalapati–

  • She was the widow of the 18th century Ginnorgarh’s chief, Gond ruler Nizam Shah.
  • She was one of Nizam Shah’s seven wives and daughter of Chaudhari Kirpa-Ramchandra.
  • She was well-known for her beauty and abilities and was often praised.
  • She built the seven-storey ‘Kamlapati Palace’ (in 1722 Bhopal), which presently serves as an ASI-protected monument and overlooks the Upper and Lower Lakes. 
  • This Palace is a secular architecture of the 18th century built of Lakhauri bricks, cusped arches over crumpled pillars. 
  • She avenged her husband’s death by killing Alam Shah, Nizam Shah’s nephew.  
  • Nizam Shah was poisoned to death by his nephew, the Raja of Chainpur-Bari, Alam Shah (also known as Chain Shah), who wanted to marry Kamlapati.
