Namsate!!
This fort is located at a distance of 350 km from Jaipur & 120 km from Udaipur and is the largest fort of India. This is a 7th Century fort, in fact before the Mewar dynasty started its rule at this for then also this fort was there and was ruled by Maurya dynasty.

It is generally believed that it commemorates Padmini's jauhar and more than 16k ladies who lived in the fort did this Jauhar. This festival is held primarily to commemorate the bravery of Rajput ancestors and all three jauhars which happened at Fort.

Kumbha Mahal - is located near the Vijay Stambha close to the entrance gate. According to the legends, the founder of the city of Udaipur, Maharana Udai Singh was born here, and his life was saved by his wet nurse Panna Dhai, who sacrificed her own son and successfully managed to take a young Udai Singh to a safe destination. This place was once the home of the famous bhakti poetess Meerabai.

Kumbhaswamin Temple - was built by Rana Kumbha in 1448 AD. The temple is dedicated to Varaha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Here you will see Meerabai temple inside. She spent long hours here in dedication to Lord Vishnu.

Vijay Stambh - The tower was constructed by the Rajput king Rana Kumbha of Mewar in 1448 to commemorate his victory over the army of Malwa led by Mahmud Khalji in the Battle of Sarangpur.

Kalika Temple - It was originally a Sun temple which was partly destroyed in the sack of Chittor, it was rebuilt during the time of Rana Kumbha. Built originally in the 8th century, this temple was dedicated to the worship of the sun god before it was converted into a shrine for Kalika, in the 14th century.

Padmini Palace - Here Rani Padmini lived after she married Rawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Mewar Kingdom who ruled between 1302 and 1303 CE.

Ratan Singh Palace - is a monument of immense historical importance located in the premises of the ravishing Chittorgarh Fort. he beauty of this palace is enhanced ten fold by the Ratneshwar Lake which is located next to the palace.
