About Chittaurgarh Fort
The Chittorgarh Fort, located in the historical city of Chittorgarh, stands strong as a citadel in the state of forts and palaces. Although Rajasthan has many sites to visit and adore, Chittorgarh Fort is a sprawling epic that waxes poetic about Rajput chivalry and honour. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once the capital of the Mewar monarchs and was built in the 7th century AD. Seven gates, two towers, and 65 structures make up the fort complex.
Chittorgarh Fort, India's and Asia's largest fort, has survived three major Muslim invasions: Alauddin Khilji, Bahadur Shah, and Akbar. But it was never perceived as a Muslim stronghold and was always associated with Rajput amour propre. It wasn't a war for religion or faith; it was a fight to maintain the country's pride clean and safe from foreign raiders. And it was this sense of belonging that drove the Rajput monarchs to take up battle against their adversaries, forever defining their never say die courage. While the men fought bravely on the battlefield, the women backed their men's sacrifice by committing jauhar to preserve the community's honour and the unyielding, indomitable spirit.
