Chittorgarh: The epitome of valor
Chittorgarh - the name itself evokes the spirit of valour, bravery and sacrifice of the
Rajput people; and the bards of Rajasthan sing the legendary tales till today. The pride,
glory and the royal past is still alive in the imposing fort, spectacular chhatris and awe
inspiring palace of this town.
The main reason for visiting Chittorgarh is its massive hilltop fort, which is a depiction of
Rajput culture and values. Perched on a height of 180 mt high hill, it sprawls over 700
acres and reverberates with the tales of heroism and sacrifice that the Rajputs are famous
for. This ancient capital of Mewar is the symbol of excellence of guerrilla warfare and for
the nobleness of Rajput sacrifice. Stand on the ramparts of the fort and let the stones of
this ancient citadel whisper to you tales of glorious battles and legendary heroes. Shivers
will run down your spine as you hear about the brave Rajput women and children that
preferred to throw themselves into a blazing fire rather than fall into the hands of the
enemy, as their men folk rode out to a certain death on the battlefield.
The Vijay Stambh (Victory Tower) is another imposing 37 meter high structure worth
visiting. This nine-storied building is covered with exquisite sculptures of Hindu deities
and depicts episodes from the two great epics - the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Other attractions in Chittorgarh include Kirti Stambh (Tower of Fame), Rana Kumbha's
palace, Padmini's Palace, Kumbha Shyam Temple, Kalika Mata Temple, and the
Government Museum.
