Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Man Singh

Explanation

The Gujari Mahal in the Gwalior Fort was built in the late 15th century by Raja Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior (not Man Singh of Amber) for his queen Mrignayani, who came from a Gujjar family. Hence its name. It is now a museum.

Man Singh Tomar also built the Man Mandir palace in the same fort. He was a great patron of music, especially the dhrupad style, and the work *Man Kautuhal* on music was written at his court.
