Chittorgarh Fort, Rajasthan

High on a hill of 180 metres in Rajasthan, Chittorgarh Fort spans approximately 3 kilometres. It stands as a proud witness to the valour of the Rajputs. Their name comes from the Sanskrit "rajaputra," meaning "son of a king," and they are celebrated for their noble lineage and martial traditions across northern India. The fort"s stone walls have witnessed centuries of courage, pride and romance, remembered in the songs of Rajasthan"s bards. Local lore credits Bhim of the Pandavas, the five warrior princes of the Mahabharata, with laying its first foundations.
