Perched on a steep hill, the
Chittorgarh Fort is the most famous
tourist attraction of Chittorgarh. This impressive structure is a silent
reminder of the glorious past of Chittorgarh. Covering an impressive area of
700 acres this fort was built by the Mauryas in the 7th century. Even though
most of it is in ruins, the fort still manages to capture the imagination of
anyone who visits it. The fort is a great example of the medieval Rajput
style of architecture. In fact, its exquisitely carved chattris and the
impressive main gate (Suraj Pol) speak volumes about the superior tastes of
the erstwhile Rajput rulers. Besides, there are many palaces within the fort
like the
Fateh Prakash Palace, Rana Kumbha Palace and
Queen
Padmini's Palace. The fort also houses the famous
Kirti Stambh
and the
Vijay Stambh.
Chittorgarh is known for its valiant warriors who were ready to go down
fighting but never compromised with their honor. Rajasthan still takes pride
in these heroes of the past who have been immortalized in many folk songs
and poems. A visit to the Chittorgarh Fort seems to transport us back in
time and makes us relive its moments of glory, defeat and joy. A visit to
this historic fort is enough to mesmerize you and make you visit it once
again.
