About Chittorgarh
India’s largest fort complex, crowned by the Vijay Stambh victory tower, tells stories of Rani Padmini, Meera Bai and Rajput courage.
Chittorgarh Fort, part of the UNESCO Hill Forts of Rajasthan, sprawls across a 180-metre-high plateau. Its gateways, palaces, temples and water bodies narrate centuries of Mewar history.
See the nine-storey Vijay Stambh, the Kirti Stambh, Rani Padmini’s Palace, and the Meera Bai Temple. The fort is an easy day trip from Udaipur.
