About Jauhar Kund in Chittorgarh

Jauhar Kund at Chittorgarh is located in Chittorgarh Fort, it a place where Rani Padmani of Chittorgarh committed Jauhar along with many other women to save their dignity. The Jauhar Kund is located inside the Chittorgarh Fort. The fort was built in the 7th century AD by Chitragad Mori of the Maurya Dynasty. Jauhar is basically an act of mass self-immolation which was done by women and children to abstain and avoid enslavement, capture, and rape by the invaders while facing the defeat during the war. These mass suicides were mainly performed by women belonging to the royal families to protect and save their dignity. Such mass self-immolation was performed at Jauhar Kund of Chittorgarh. 

History Behind Jauhar Kund Chittorgarh 

The Jauhar was performed in the year 1303 and was the first one in Chittorgarh. It was committed when Mewar was ruled by Rawal Ratan Singh and the central India was under the reign of Alauddin Khilji. Mewar area was becoming popular because of Zawar, Aguch, and Dariba, these areas were famous for the mining of precious metals. Khilji also heard about these places and decided to take his large army and march directly to Chittorgarh. As soon as Khilji reached Chittorgarh, he demanded surrender from Rajputs. Rawal Ratan Singh denied surrender even though he was aware of the Khilji’s large army. Alauddin didn’t return to Delhi, instead decided to surround the fort and set-up camps. The blockade by Khilji lasted for 8 months. Slowly the supplies within the fort declined and finally, King Rawal Ratan Singh ordered that the gates of the fort will open and Rajputs will fight with the army of Khilji. After this decision, the women of Chittorgarh were left to choices either to perform Johar or to be captured by Khilji’s army and face dishonor. Finally, the decision was in favor of mass self-immolation and a large pyre of fire was lit and Rani Padmani along with many women of Chittorgarh jumped into the fire. There are other stories as well revolving around Jauhar Kund of Chittorgarh.

Significance of Jauhar Kund of Chittorgarh

Rawal Ratan Singh and Rani Padmini got married in 1302. There are many stories revolving around their marriages. One of which is Padmini’s talking parrot escaped the execution which was ordered by her father and reached to Rawal Ratan Singh. The parrot told Ratan Singh about the beauty and good nature of Padmini which led Ratan Singh to a love chase and finally both were married. Another story suggests that Padmini lost in swordsmanship to Rawa Ratan and hence the marriage. It is believed that after the marriage a sorcerer forms the court of Ratan Singh informed about the beauty of Pandmini to Khilji and hence Khilji attacked Chittor with a large army. Women of Chittor along with Rani Padmini committed Jauhar to save their respect and integrity. 

After this Jauhar, Chittorgarh saw two more Jauhar. One in 1534 by Rani Karnavati who was from Bundi and was the wife of Rana Sangram Singh of Chittorgarh. And the last Johar in Chittorgarh took place in the year 1568.

Current situation of Jauhar Kund

The Jauhar Kund is located inside the Chittorgarh Fort, it is a wide open well type. As of now it is not in good condition, you will find collected rain water and weeds growing inside the kund.

    Niliscool's 5 days trip to Chittorgarh

    I faced issues with co-ordination of travel agent, After reaching I have discussed the itinerary with travel agent he changed the plan a bit and evening as per it there was leisure time for shopping but i was not able to go because of barricades kept then i tried to reac them but he didn't receive
    call. He would have informed me other options of transportation which was available. They have not informed properly to hotel management about my check in time so I contacted travel triangle also they told not to pay extra at hotel but hotel didn't allowed me to check in at that time. Next day we faced issue at CNG pump we were waited there about 3 hr 30 min just to fill CNG that time also I called travel agent but he told we can't run vehicle on petrol u have to wait there. Because of that I was not able to cover single spot of jodhpur on that day we reached jodhpur around 5.pm. In whole trip I missed 4 spots which was in itinerary. They would have communicated properly at right time I would have covered all the spot. This was purely mismanagement. Hotels were really good. I missed the chance of roaming on the streets of Jaipur when it was decorated even though I was in Jaipur itself.

    Trip was arranged great I like the behaviour of Preeti and her temperament to handle my all changes. The negative I can say is the driver was asking us to walk a lot which we didn’t like and also as a feedback can u ask drivers to help in getting tickets and be more helpful. Also one hotel which was
    give Rampratap palace was not of a good value i would like to let travel agent don’t suggest such hotel in future if the travelers want a luxurious stay so please don’t spoil their experience with such low quality hotels and staff Jawai stay and safari was awesome . jagat niwas stay view and hospitality was good but food was not to the class
