Chittorgarh Fort
Perched atop a steep hill in Rajasthan, the Chittorgarh Fort still echoes with the tales of chivalry, courage and sacrifice that have shaped its tragic history. This grand fortress has been one of the most fiercely contested seats of power in Indian history and has been a witness to some of the most bloodiest battles ever recorded. Besides, the Chittorgarh Fort covers an entire area of 700 acres and was built by the Maurya rulers of the 7th century.
It is true that most of the Chittorgarh Fort is in ruins but that does not discount its grandeur that still manages to capture the imagination of its visitors. A number of wonderfully carved chattris adorn the Chittorgarh Fort that speaks volumes about the artistic genius of their creator. Besides, the fort also houses a number of palaces like the Fateh Prakash Palace, Rana Kumbha's Palace, Queen Padmini's Palace and so on. The famous Kirti Stambh and the Vijay Stambh also act as important reminders of the Chittorgarh Fort's turbulent yet glorious history.
As the Suraj Pol gate ushers you into the complex, you find yourself entering a different world altogether that resounds with sights and sounds of the past era. The ruins start narrating tales about the doomed ideal of honor that brought about Chittorgarh's ruin. Who can forget the tragic tale of Queen Padmini who chose death over dishonor and sacrificed her life along with hundreds of other women? The town of Chittorgarh has always been known for its brave warriors who were ready to die for the sake of honor. The imminent pride Rajasthan takes in its past heroes can easily be discerned in the folk songs and poems that have immortalized them. Castle and King takes you to the Chittorgarh Fort and offers you an experience to cherish all your life.
