SpainFATEH PRAKASH PALACE, CHITTORGARH
Chittorgarh
Fort is a massive structure with a 1 kilometre zigzag
accent to it. The road leads through seven gates to
the main gate Rampol (meaning Gate of Ram). On the
climb between the second and third gate you see two
Chattris cenotaphs built to honour Jaimull and Kulla
heroes of 1568 siege by Emperor Akbar.
The main gate of the fort itself is Surajpol (meaning
Sun Gate). Within the fort a circular runs around the
ruins of the fort. According to often told legend the
construction of the fort was started by Bhim a Pandav
hero of mythological epic Mahabharata.
The fort has many magnificent monuments. Akbar carried
away all the distinctive pieces of architecture and
sculpture and placed them in his capital. These are
still manifested in the fort of Agra. Even though the
fort is ruin but it is an overwhelming reminder of
past history and its walls resonate with unbelievable
legend of extra ordinary men and women and their
equally astounding deeds.
