Chittaurgarh Tours
The Chittaurgarh Fort
The trip to this fascinating city began with a visit to the Chittorgarh
Fort, which was perched on a height of 180m high hill. I approached the
fort on the back of an elephant, which was an exhilarating experience. The
main gates to enter into the fort were Padal Pol, Bhairon Pol, Hanuman Pol
and Ram Pol. Inside the Chittaurgarh Fort there were exquisitely carved
chhatris and tablets that reminded me the Rajput heroism.
Vijay Stambh, Chittaurgarh

While driving towards the next destination I came across the magnificent Vijay
Stambh. Though I had no plans to visit this but it was such a glorious monument
that I decided to pay a short visit. The imposing 37 meter high structure
was covered with exquisite sculpture of Hindu deities and depicting episodes
from the two great epics- Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Rana Kumbha's Palace
Driving through the colorful street of the city, I reached at Rana Kumbha Palace
where Rani Padmini and other women committed Jauhar. It was the most massive
monument in the fort of Chittaur.
