Maahika Kadel, 268
Chittorgarh,
a city immersed in the expansive sea of rich culture, is a city In Rajasthan,
approximately 2 hours from Udaipur. The existence of this city is the
corroboration of the incredible history of the Rajput rule. One can’t help but
look at the city washed with a sepia hue because of the past it represents.
Chittorgarh is a home to the remnants of many historical forts and palaces, the most prominent one being the Chittorgarh fort. The Chittorgarh fort is deemed to be the largest fort in india, spanning an area of 700 acres. The Padmani palace, where Alauddin Khilji was enchanted by rani Padmani’s beauty when he got a glimpse of her through reflection, is situated in the south of the Chittorgarh fort. This fort also consists of two commemoration towers, christened Kirti Stamb and Vijay Stamb which were erected in honour of the first Jain Tirthankara and the triumph of Mohammed Khilji. The Meera temple of lord Krishna is the place where Meerabai used to worship the lord.
Another
mesmerizing place to visit whilst in this city id the archeological museum
which exhibits the various archeological artifacts which have great historical
connotations. The collection has an array of artifacts, from stone age stones
to the armors and the weapons used in battles. For shopping authentic
Rajasthani goods and souvenirs, the Ranasanga market and the Sardar market are
unmatched. After a tiring visit to these locations one can refresh oneself by
the energizing ‘shikanjis’ (lemonade) made by the locals!
