About Chittorgarh Fort in Chittorgarh

Chittorgarh Fort History

Chittorgarh Fort, located in Rajasthan in Chittorgarh city, is a major heritage site of India and is also the largest fort in Asia. It covers an area of 700 acres and offers visitors a glimpse of the grandeur of the Rajputs. It was built by Chitrangada Mori. The intricately carved inner sanctums are a reminder of an era gone by. It was declared to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2013. The construction of the fort was undertaken in the 7th century AD, under the guidance of Chitrangad Mori of the Maurya dynasty.

Stories of Many Invasions

The very first invasion of Chittorgarh Fort was in the era of 730 AD. As per local legend, Bappa Rawal seized the fort from the Moris. An important part of the royal dynasty, this fort has endured several attempts to break in but has thwarted all of them except for 3, which includes Ala-ud-din Khilji in 1303, Bahadur Shah in 1535 and Akbar in 1567. Of all the invasions that happened, the invasion by Ala-ud-din Khilji is most talked about. Rani Padmini was the then queen of the Mewar kingdom. Most legends suggest that the invasion by Ala-ud-din Khilji was due to an attempt to marry Rani Padmini which then led to mass Jauhar. The views from the fort are gorgeous, with the Gambhiri River near the fort and lush green hills beyond it, visible from the intricate balconies of the fort. Watching the sunset here is a beautiful experience.

What Constitutes Chittorgarh Fort?

The fort is home to a total of seven gates that are named as Ganesh Gate, Jodla Gate, Lakshman Gate, Padan Gate, Hanuman Gate, Ram Gate, and Bhairon Gate. The fort depicts Rajput’s architectural style. Several palaces are also situated inside the fort. The prominent palaces include the Rana Kumbha Palace, the Tower of Victory, the Fateh Prakash Palace, Kirti Stambh, and Rani Padmini's Palace. Along with palaces and gates, one can also find many temples inside the fort.   

Chittorgarh Fort: Majestic Fort With a Hint of Eerie

The history of Chittorgarh Fort cannot be told without the mention of eerie incidents. Many people have narrated tales of haunting incidents, erie sounds, and unexplained events that took place in the fort. However, the truth behind the stories can only be unfolded once you visit the place. Some locals also link the occurrences of such events to the killings that happened during several invasions.  

Sound and Light Show

One of the highlights of visiting Chittorgarh Fort is the sound and light show that takes place during the evening. The show narrates the tales of the past events and important personas. It is a great way to learn more about the history of this magnificent monument.

    Our Rajasthan Trip was good and Mohit's suggestion and planning was good where he accomodated Chittorgarh and Kumbhalgarh in our 8 days and 7 nights travel which other travel agents were reluctant and price was also competitive.

    patiently and gave us time around.. All places in Rajasthan were memorable, Jaipur - Amer fort and Nahargarh fort, History of Chittorgarh, Meera temple, Udaipur palace and boating Fateh sagar lake, Kumbalgarh fort and shiv temple, Jodhpur Mehrangarh fort, Enjoyed jaisalmer desert camp the most with Jeep safari and camel ride the most, Visited Brahma temple in Pushkar and finally finishing with Hawa mahal, Jantar mantar ans shopping in Jaipur

    Vishal's 5 days trip to Chittorgarh

    We recently chose services for first time from back to holidays for our trip to Rajasthan, and while there were some positive aspects, unfortunately, our overall experience was not as smooth as we had hoped. Issues with Driver and Vehicle The driver and vehicle provided were from Uttar Pradesh,
    not Rajasthan. As a result, the driver had no local knowledge, which caused significant delays and confusion. For instance, upon our arrival at Udaipur airport, it took 30-40 minutes for the driver to locate us, despite being at the airport gate. We were with six children and had to direct him over the phone repeatedly. Throughout the trip, the lack of local knowledge meant we had to rely on Google Maps to reach destinations. This consumed extra time and added unnecessary stress. Inaccuracies in Itinerary The itinerary mentioned an elephant ride near the Birla Temple, which was not there it was near amber fort and due to this details we missed that. This was a major disappointment, especially for the children who were looking forward to it. Sightseeing in Udaipur was poorly planned. For example: Jagdish Temple, listed for Day 2, should have been included on Day 1 as it is adjacent to Jagmandir Palace. Due to this misalignment, we had to waste time traveling across the city on Day 2, which resulted in skipping Fateh Sagar Lake and the Aquarium. Hotel Experiences Devi Palace, Udaipur: This hotel was excellent. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, providing detailed guidance for local sightseeing. The breakfast and meals were also outstanding. The Lighthouse, Jaipur: Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet expectations. The staff was rude, unresponsive to feedback, and the breakfast quality was subpar. We decided against having any meals here. What ever ratings we have given to the hotels are only to devi palace we consider poor rating to the light house. We enjoyed, our stay at Devi Palace, the overall experience was spoiled by the lack of local expertise, misinformation in the itinerary, and disappointing accommodations in Jaipur. We hope you consider this feedback to improve your services for future travelers.
