Chittaurgarh - चितौड़गढ़

Chittor is the quintessence of Rajasthan. The fort, which covers the whole of a 5 km-long hill 150m above the plains, is the largest in India and has witnessed acts of chivalry unrivalled anywhere in the world.
Chivalrous Chittaurgarh, the citadel of th brve, reverberates with tales of valour and romance. The massive fort atop a hill is perhaps the best in the country and could be singled out for its glorious past. It is said that Bappa Rawal, the legendary founder of the sisodia clan, conquered chittaur from Mauryas in the middle of 8th century. Chittaurgarh remained the capital of Mewar till 1567, when Akbar, sieged Chhitaur and Udipur became the new capital of Mewar.
