:-
About 150 miles southwest of Jaipur the great fort of Chittaurgarh
stands atop a 500 foot high hill rising sharply from the surrounding plains. A
ruined citadel, where the royal past lives in its imposing forts graceful
palaces and spectacular chhatris. Famous for its sieges by invaders, Chittaurgarh
traces it origin way back to the Mahabharata, although no substantial evidence
exists for that statement. Although Chittor is
attributed to Bappa Rawal, it is the earliest fort in Rajasthan. Chittaurgarh
was the home of Princess Padmini, one of the most romantic figures in Indian
history.
