Historic
Raja Rani monument is situated in Ranipet town, on the banks of the Palar river. There are 2 towers built in the memory Raja Desingh and his beloved wife Rani Bai.
History reiterates that Raja Desingh refused to pay tax to British and hence British raided Arcot and killed Raja Desingh. In memory and love of her husband, Rani Bai committed Sati and died.
To honour the sacrifice of Rani Bai, Arcot Nawab Sadat-ul-lahkhan built this Monument on the opposite Bank on palar and in memory of her sacrifice named the town on the opposite bank as Ranipet and hence the name of the Town.
