Kumbalgarh
Travel to the west of chittaurgarh to reach the second most important
bastion of Mewar-Kumbhalgarh. Covering an area of 12 sq. Km this formidable
fort fell only once to the army of Akbar and that too becasue the water
supply was contaminated by the enemy forces. Even today, it is one of the
most inaccessible forts of Rajasthan and reached with great difficulty. It
served as a refuge to the rulers of Mewar in times of strife and contained
within its ramparts alomst an entire township .
Chittorgarh
The massive hilltop fort of Chittorgarh is one of the most historically
significant in Rajasthan and epitomises the whole romantic, doomed ideal of
Rajput chivalry. Three times in its long history, Chittor was sacked by a
stronger enemy and, on each occasion, the end came in textbook Rajput
fashion: Jauhar was declared in the face of impossible odds. The men donned
the saffron robes of martyrdom and rode out from the fort to certain death,
while the women immolated themselves on a huge funeral pyre. Honour was
always more important than death and Chittor still holds a special place in
the hearts of many Rajputs.The only real reason to come to Chittor is to see
the fort.
