Legendary queen of Chittor, Padmâvatî

During his honeymoon journeyto India, Albert Rousselvisited the ruined city of Chittor in Rajputana, currently located in Rajasthan. That city had a very colorful and long history, and once he returned home to Paris he approached his friend Louis Laloy to write a libretto based on the story of the legendary queen of Chittor, Padmâvatî. Her story had been preserved in a medieval poem by Malik Muhammad Jayasi and turned into the novel La légende de Padmanîby Théodore-Marie Pavie. Set in 13th-century India, the plot centers on the princely ruler Ratan-Sen and his beautiful wife, Padmâvatî. When the Mongol sultan Alaouddin—ruler of Delhi—besieges the city of Chittor, he asks to be granted a glimpse of Padmâvatî in exchange for peace. Ratan-Sen reluctantly agrees, and when Padmâvatî unveils at his request, Alaouddin instantly falls in love with her.
