Overview
The Chittor Fort or Chittorgarh is one of the largest forts in India and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort was the capital of Mewar and is located in the present-day town of Chittor. It sprawls over a hill nearly 600 ft in height spread over an area of nearly 700 acres above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River.
The fort precinct has several historical palaces, gates, temples and two prominent commemorative towers. The Fort is regarded as the symbol of Rajput chivalry, resistance and bravery. On more than one occasion, when faced with a certain defeat, the men fought to death while the women committed suicide by jauhar (mass self-immolation).
The fort is known for its seven gates namely Padan Gate, Ganesh Gate, Hanuman Gate, Bhairon Gate, Jodla Gate, Lakshman Gate and the main gate which is named after Lord Ram. The Chittorgarh fort houses many palaces, like the Rana Kumbha Palace, the Fateh Prakash Palace, the Tower of Victory and Rani Padmini's Palace. All these structures are significant for their Rajput architectural features. There are also many temples within the fort. A huge complex of Jain temples are a major attraction.
