 Chittorgarh
Chittorgarh, the land of glory and valour is bound to leave you enchanted.
The history of this captivating place is intriguing and spellbinding.
The land of devotion and determination, Chittorgarh has produced some
of the greatest devotees and courageous warriors in the history of
India. Chittorgarh remains replete with historic associations and
holds a very special place in the hearts of Rajputs, as it was a bastion
of the clan at a time when every other stronghold had succumbed to
invasion.
Chittorgarh Fort, the gigantic citadel was built in the seventh century
and stands witness to chivalry, valour and honour postulated and lived
by the Rajput rulers of that era. The fort is dotted with innumerable
monuments and beautiful temples. The Vijay Stambh, tower of victory
was erected by Rana Kumbha to mark his triumph over the Sultan of
Gujarat. Here, you will revisit history where Rani Padmini along with
other women performed the heroic act of Jauhar ? rather than being
caught by the enemy, they took a plunge in fire. The sound and light
show narrates the history of this majestic land to perfection and
is a treat to witness. |
