The city echoes its gala tale of gallantry and royalty through the magnificent forts. |

This was one city that holds a special place in my heart. The serenity that Chittaurgarh through its various magnificent forts and monuments was something that touched my heart. It is a ruined citadel where the royal past lives in the imposing forts, graceful palaces and spectacular chhatris. The entire city echoes with the tales of love and gallantry unique to the Rajput tradition. I didn't had any problem in commuting to the city as is well connected through air, rail and road. The nearest airport is at Daibok airport, Udaipur, 90km. Exploring Chittaurgarh! Ranvir took me to the fort that was constructed by later Mauryan rulers in 7th century A.D., it is located on a 180 m high hill. With a distinct Rajput character, the fort has many architectural attractions. And then I visited the Vijay Sthamb or the Victory Tower. It is built by Maharana Kumbha, in commemoration of victory over the Muslim rulers of Malwa and Gujarat, in 1440 A.D., this 37 m high tower is a structure of nine towers. I also visited the Kalika Mata Temple.This temple is originally dedicated to Surya, the sun god. It dates back to the 8th century ,which makes it the oldest structure in the fort. |
